Her family would like to extend a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to all who supported Mam during her last years and to those who paid their respects by joining her funeral Mass on the webcam and those that supported us at a distance on the day of her funeral to Laraghbryan Cemetery. We would also like to thank all who wrote beautiful tributes of condolence on RIP.ie and all who sent Mass cards and letters of condolence. We are deeply grateful for your support, kindness & generosity.

Thank you to all Mam’s wonderful friends & neighbours who gave her so much support over the years and called on her regularly. Also to her friends in the Church collectors group, of which she was proud to be a member for many years. Your friendship meant a lot to her. A special thanks to Mary Gaffney & Jas for their support & kindness to Mam which meant so much to her and also to us her children. Special thanks also goes to the Byrne/O’Connor and the Bean/Tierney families for their support to Mam.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Fr. Frank McEvoy for his beautiful and fitting celebration of Mam’s funeral Mass under very different circumstances at the height of the Covid pandemic and to Fr. Paul Kelly for his friendship to Mam. Thank you also to Paul & his team at Oliver Reilly Funeral Directors for their care and professionalism. Our sincere thanks also to Eilish & the Funeral Ministry Team & to Sarah for the lovely music at Mam’s funeral Mass.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Dr. Yvonne O’Sullivan, Dr. Maurice Cowhey, Dr. Claire Smyth & her team and all the staff of Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown. Special thanks also to the Management & Staff of Maynooth Community Care Unit for their special care of Mam in the weeks leading up to her passing and for the lovely respite they afforded her. Thank you also to Anne Fitzsimons & the team from Care home services that supported Mam with home help during her last years.

May her soul now rest in peace with her beloved husband Caoimgin, her parents, brothers and sister, her extended Bean familyand her many friends. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere appreciation. The Holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.
