The family of Jim Hatch, of Bettystown, Co. Meath, who passed away suddenly on December 16th, would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who sympathise with us on our great loss. We greatly appreciate the phone calls, messages, mass cards, letters, flowers and condolences on RIP.ie. 

We sincerely thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital for the outstanding care and kindness given to Jim.

Thank you to Fr Eugene Sweeney P.P. for the lovely mass and Gerry Mulroy for the beautiful music.

Thank you to neighbours and friends who supported us by joining us in person or via the live-streamed mass to pay tribute to Jim. 

We are especially thankful for the kindness and professionalism of the funeral director at P. Townley and Sons.

We would also like to thank our family members on both the Hatch and Davis sides for their support, guidance and prayers during this challenging time.

As it is impossible to thank everyone, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our heartfelt appreciation.

The holy sacrifice of the mass will be offered for your intentions on January 21st at 1200 in our Lady of Lourdes Church.

The one-month's mass will be held on Sunday, January 14th at 1200 in Our Lady of Lourdes Church. The mass can also be viewed at https://www.saintpetersdrogheda.ie/our-parish/our-lady-of-lourdes-church-webcam/.
