Acknowledgements

Joseph's parents Declan and Patricia, his brothers Paddy and John, his sister Karen and extended family would like to express our sincere thanks and great appreciation to all those who showed kindness and support to us over the last few weeks.

We offer our sincere gratitude to relatives, neighbours and friends who attended Lakeland Funeral Home and St Matthew's Church for the funeral Mass and especially to those who travelled great distances to be with us. We will be forever grateful to those who called, sent texts, Mass cards and those that wrote condolences on RIP. To all who sent donations to Pieta House we are truly thankful.

Our sincere thanks to Fr Donal Kilduff for his support, prayers and for the celebration of Joseph's funeral Mass. Thanks also to Martina and Eamonn who provided the music and singing at the ceremony. We are grateful to the emergency services for their care and sensitivity shown to us. We thank Ann Marie Gaffney and her staff for the refreshments in the community hall after Joseph's funeral.

Thank you to those who formed a guard of honour and to the gravediggers who prepared Joseph's final resting place. To Finnegans Funeral Home we thank Declan, Bernard, Keith and Ian for the personal, dignified and professional manner in which they conducted the funeral arrangements.

A final thanks to Joseph's close friends who contributed at every stage of the arrangements. To them we are truly grateful.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this as a token of our heartfelt appreciation.

Joseph's Months Mind Mass will be on Friday 6th September in St Matthew's Church, Drumavaddy at 8.30pm.
