We, Michael and Teresa, the family of the late Katie (Catherine) McCoy, Lisgall, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan / Castlemartyr, Cork, who died on the 13th December 2023, would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who sympathised with us.  We got great comfort from everyone who sent Mass Cards and messages of condolence online, sent flowers, attended the wake and funeral Mass. A special thanks to those who kept a vigil and said prayers at her wake. It was very much appreciated by us as a family.

To Fr Daly, Donaghmoyne Parish Priest for the beautiful funeral Mass and kind words that he spoke about our mum. A special thanks to those who assisted by bringing up symbols of her life, those who did readings, prayers of the faithful, Eucharistic ministers and to Lisdoonan choir for the beautiful music and singing. To the family, neighbours and friends who helped at the wake and Mass, we greatly valued your help and support and your kindness will not be forgotten.
