The family of the late Jimmy Collins, Toberaheena, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary who died on 29th June, 2023 wish to express a sincere and heartfelt thank you to all who sympathised with us on our recent sad loss of our lovely dad, to everyone who attended the funeral, those who travelled long distances to be with us, and to those who called to the house, sent flowers and cards, made donations to St. Vincent de Paul, phone calls, letters and message of sympathy and condolences online. We are especially thankful to all the medical staff in the Beacon Hospital who looked after dad in his final days with such care and compassion for him and for us as a family.
A big thank you to Fr. Billy Meehan and Fr. Crowley who celebrated Dad’s funeral mass and to Aoife for her beautiful singing. Thanks to Helen Power and all the sacristans and altar boys and girls. Thank you to St. Mary’s Hurling Club for their meaningful contribution to Dad’s life and funeral mass. Thank you to Condon’s Funeral Home for helping us navigate this most difficult time with your professionalism and the kindness you showed to our family. Thanks also to the gravediggers in St. Patrick’s Cemetery for preparing Dad’s final resting place.
We would like to thank Dad’s close friends, all our family, friends and neighbours for their love and support. Thank you also to Michael Heverin for the lovely tributes to both Mam and Dad in The Nationalist. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our sincere gratitude.
Finally, to our Dad, you were a wonderful, hardworking, generous, and loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. You will be forever in our hearts. Enjoy your heavenly home with Mam until we meet again.
