As we fondly remember our mum and beloved nan Chrissie on her first anniversary. We wish to thank all who sympathised and supported us during our sad loss. Thank you to our relatives neighbours and friends especially those who attended her prayers and her funeral. To those who sent floral tributes, mass cards, messages of condolence on the rip we are very grateful.

Thank you to Fr Sean O' Sullivan who supported Chrissie in her final months and for celebrating her funeral mass. Thank you also for his support to ourselves during this sad time. We would also like to thank Fr John Walsh for supporting our mum for many years and for always being there when she needed him. We can never thank you enough.  We would also like to thank Martha Ryan sacristan Farranree church for having everything ready for mum for her funeral mass. Thank you to Marion O' Callaghan for her beautiful music and your renditions of hymns and songs that were so very special and meaningful to mum throughout her life that meant so much to her.

Thank you to Finnbar O' Connor and the staff of O' Connors Funeral Home for their professionalism and respectful support throughout this hard time. Thank you to the funeral team of Farranree Church Caroline and Noel for all their support. To the grave diggers of St. Catherine's Cemetery for preparing mums final resting place and for always caring for it. 

A very special thanks to Dr O' Sullivan and staff of the medi group Cathedral road. Thank you to Pophams road Pharmacy for always having everything ready for mum. Thank you to Mary Hayes, Megan Alcock and Ronan O' Caoimha from the mercy hospital who made it possible for my mum to be cared for at home. Thank you to my mum's health nurse Deirdre Buckley for her help. Thank you to my mum's wonderful carers especially the team from Homestead. Thank you for all you did for my mum for treating her with respect and dignity, I will always be grateful to each and every one of you. Thanks to MaryMount especially to my mums nurse Ruth who I can never thank enough. You showed great kindness and respect to my mum in her final days. Thank you to Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G. for their understanding for our situation during the loss of our mum.

As it is impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as a token for our deep appreciation.

Our mum left this world very much as she lived it, peacefully, softly and gently. Though things will never be the same without her we'll take comfort in the fact that she lived so generously and kindly with a beautiful smile and a prayer in her heart for all. She is finally reunited with her husband Dinny, her son William and her daughter Annie. May they all rest peacefully together.

"Not gone from us but before us."

Sadly missed always and forever,

Love you always Jacqueline, Pat, Pádraig and Alannah.
