Matt’s wife Margaret, sons Matthew, Lorcan, Joseph & Brian, his brothers, sisters & all his family would like to extend our most sincere thanks for the sympathy & kindness shown to us at the time of Matt’s sad passing & throughout the weeks since.

Thanks to all those who visited the funeral home, attended Matt’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent Mass cards, letters, texts & online messages of condolence & all those who donated generously to Arklow R.N.L.I. via  https://gofund.me/30a346a6 in Matt’s memory. Thanks also to those of you who couldn’t attend in person but joined us via webcam & continue to keep Matt, & us all in your thoughts & prayers.

To our wonderful colleagues & friends for your many generous gestures of kindness & assistance & to our dear neighbours, the comfort brought by your continued support is much appreciated & will never be forgotten.

Special thanks to Dr Foster & the team at Harbour Road Surgery for their care over the years & to our neighbours Michael & Denis, the crew of Arklow Ambulance & to the doctors, nurses & staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital who were so good to Matt, & to us all on the day he passed away.

Heartfelt thanks also to Fr David Brough for his prayers, guidance & beautiful funeral Mass & to Matt Sharpe & Stephen Walker for such lovely music.

Thanks also to the O’Leary Family, to Joe O’Toole for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors.

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.

Matt’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 29th August at 11.30am in St.’s Mary & Peter’s Church & those who cannot attend are welcome to join via the parish webcam
