BROWNEN Martin, Blackrock, Co Dublin (died January 9, 2024)

On the occasion of Martin’s first anniversary, his wife Bridget, children Dara and Nessa, son in law, Paddy, grandchildren Harry, Daniel, Conaill and Olivia together with his brothers, sisters and extended family would like to express their deepest gratitude and appreciation to our families, neighbours and friends for their kindness and support during this difficult time.

 

We would also like to express our gratitude to Martin’s friends and colleagues in AIB who shared kind words and stories online. The shared memories from all of you meant a great deal to us. To all those who called to our home, sent messages, flowers, Mass and Sympathy cards, said prayers and lit candles, they were a great comfort to us. To those who travelled from far and near for the funeral Mass and removal as well as those who joined us online, it was a huge help to have all of you around us and to those who continue to support us, we are truly grateful.

 

We would also like to thank Fr Desmond Hayden and his assistant, Fr Michael Murtagh, for a very moving funeral Mass, to Martin’s brother, Leo, who gave the eulogy, Soloist Paul Byram, altar servers, readers, Eucharistic Ministers, coffin bearers and staff. A special thanks to the ambulance service and Blackrock Garda Siochana for their prompt response to our call and to the care and attention they gave to Martin.

 

Thank you to Toni and staff of Massey Bros for your invaluable help and professionalism throughout all the arrangements, to neighbours, friends and family who brought food and refreshments and to those who helped in the kitchen and served tea/coffee during the wake, it was greatly appreciated. To Kilmacud Crokes GAA where Martin spent many weekends cheering on his grandchildren from the sidelines at football, hurling or camogie matches, we thank you all.

 

We miss Martin very much but we have many treasured memories which you have sent to us for which we are truly grateful. Please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our heartfelt gratitude.
