Martin’s wife Christine, children Martin, Melanie, Colin & family would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone who offered sympathy & support throughout Martin’s illness, at the time of his funeral & during the time since.

Thank you to everyone who called to our home to pay their respects, those who attended Martin’s removal, funeral Mass & burial service, those who phoned, sent Mass cards, letters, texts & online condolences, to all those who travelled long distances & to those who couldn’t be present but joined in the celebration of Martin’s life via live-stream. Thanks also to all those who donated generously to Milford Hospice in Martins memory. www.milfordcarecentre.ie. Your gestures of remembrance are a testament to the impact he had on all who knew him.
 

Thank you, to the doctors, nurses, caring staff & Brian O Halloran of Milford Hospice for their wonderful care, respect and dignity they showed Martin and also thank you to the Oncology unit in UHL.

A special thank you to B&Q & Geraldines for doing a guard of honour for Martin over both days, Pat Wallace for playing the pipes as Martin was brought to his final resting place, Noel and the Team in the Horse and Hound for supplying refreshments, thank you all, it was greatly appreciated.

Our heartfelt thanks to Conor and his team in Cross’s Funeral Homes, for taking care of Martin so respectfully and guiding us through the most difficult of days. You make such a sad situation a little better with your professionalism, unbelievable kindness and personal touches.

Thank you to Fr. Sean Harmon for celebrating such a thoughtful Mass, which really reflected Martin as a person, Fr Garret saying the prayers in the funeral home and Fr Leo for the prayers at the burial. We would also like to extend our thanks to all who participated in the funeral Mass, Nigel for the beautiful music, the sacristan, the Eucharistic ministers, and the grave diggers who prepared Martin's final place of rest in Mount Saint Lawrence Extension.

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support, sympathy, and love during this difficult period of grieving. Your kindness will forever be remembered and cherished.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.

Those we love don’t go away

They walk beside us every day

Unseen, unheard but always near

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Martin's Months Mind Mass will be held on Saturday, 27th April, at 6pm in St. John’s Cathedral, Limerick.
