Our most sincere thanks to the wonderful staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital for their kindness & great care throughout John’s final weeks.
Special thanks to Fr. Pádraig Ó’Cochláin & Fr. Martin Jose for their prayers & words of comfort, to our dear friend Lucy Carolan for her lovely singing & to Bridget Kenny for her accompaniment.
To our extended families, our colleagues, our neighbours & our friends, your continued support & kindness is much appreciated & will never be forgotten.
