Your kind and sincere offerings gave us great comfort at this difficult time.

 

Thank you to the friends & neighbours who without thought, came and gave the family support during the days following Johnny’s passing. We're sincerely grateful for the generosity shown by all those who called to our home and brought food and refreshments.

 

We appreciate all those who attended Johnny’s Reposal & Funeral Mass and to relatives and friends who travelled long distances to be with us and celebrate Johnny’s wonderful life.

 

We would like to sincerely thank Msgr Geraghty, Fr. Sean Neylon, Fr. Sean Egan and Fr. Raymond Sweeney for celebrating Johnny’s life in a most beautiful Requiem Mass.

 

Thanks to Carmel Dempsey for providing beautiful music and singing during Johnny’s funeral Mass.

 

A heartful thanks to Lakeshore Medical Centre, Leahy’s pharmacy, the Cardiac and Diabetic Teams in Portiuncula University Hospital, the Public Health nurses in St Brendan’s Home, and especially the nurses and doctors in the Shannon ward at UCHG for the exceptional care and attention given to Johnny. The kindness and compassion shown to Johnny was exemplary.

 

A sincere thanks to the wonderful gravediggers for the careful attention given to preparing Johnny’s final resting place.

 

Thank you to Clement and the Corbett family in the Meadow Court for the lovely meal following the funeral.

 

Our sincere appreciation and gratitude to Sean Cleary and all the staff in Kilboy’s Funeral Directors for their professionalism, support and guidance throughout this difficult and sad time.

 

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere appreciation. In gratitude, a Mass of Thanksgiving will be offered for your intentions.

 

Johnny, you left us with beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide,

Although we cannot see you, you are always by our side,

A special place within our hearts will always be kept for you.

 

 

Johnny’s Months Mind Mass will take place in St. Brendan’s Cathedral, Loughrea on 25th May at 11am on what would have been Johnny’s 83rd birthday.
