Jim’s children Marion, Frances, Caroline, Paul, Geraldine, Kate, Sean and Liam, his sister Maureen, his best friend Lena & all our family wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for the many condolences & the support we continue to receive throughout this difficult time.

Thank you to everyone who attended Jim’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent Mass cards & letters, those who travelled long distances, all those who phoned, wrote or shared kind messages online & those who donated generously to St. Vincent’s Foundation in Jim’s memory; www.stvincentsfoundation.ie

Sincere thanks to the doctors, nurses & staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital who were so good to Jim throughout his final weeks.

Special thanks to Fr O’Cochláin for his prayers, guidance & beautiful funeral Mass & to Nicky Byrne for such lovely music. Thank you to Fr Larkin for his graveside prayers & to Billy Redmond for his graveside lament.

Thanks also to all at Ryston Sports Club for their hospitality, to Kevin Ward for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.

Jim’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Saturday 23rd September at 8pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Castletown.
