The sons, daughter, brother, sisters & extended family of the late Mary Mates wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to all those who sympathised with them in their recent sad loss. Thanks to all who visited the funeral home, attended Mary’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent Mass cards & flowers, & all who phoned, wrote or travelled long distances to offer support & comfort.

To our wonderful neighbours, friends & extended family, we cannot thank you enough for your constant support.

Sincere thanks to Dr Bentley & the team at Bradshaw’s Lane Surgery for your care throughout Mary’s illness & to the doctors, nurses & staff of St. Vincent’s University Hospital.

Thanks also to Fr Murtagh & the priests of the parish for your comforting guidance & lovely funeral Mass & to Matt Sharpe & Eddie McElheron for their beautiful music.

Many thanks to the management & staff of D’Arcy McGee’s for your hospitality after the funeral, to John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors, & to the gravediggers at St. Gabriel’s Cemetery.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation. Mass will be offered for the intentions of all who sent Mass Cards on Saturday, 21st October, at 6.30 pm in St.’s Mary & Peter’s Church.

Mary’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, 14th October, at 6.30pm in St.’s Mary & Peter’s Church.
