As we lovingly remember Joe on his first Anniversary his wife Irene, sons Paul, Gary and Rory and their families would like to express their appreciation to all who called to pay their respects ,sent cards, flowers, and sympathised with us during that sad time.

We would like to thank all of the health care professionals who helped care for him during his illness, his grandchildren, nieces, nephews and his old friends who were all so kind to him throughout.

We thank O'Connor's Funeral Directors for guiding us through those difficult days and to Fr. Doocey and SMA Blackrock for such a thoughtful ceremony.

There will be an Anniversary Mass for Joe on Sunday May 8th at 12.00 noon at SMA Blackrock Road, all are welcome.
