On the first anniversary of Michael's death. We, his family, would like to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised with us on our sad loss. 

Thank you to everyone who visited the funeral home, attended the funeral mass and burial, sent mass cards, letters and texts, those who shared happy memories and warm messages in person and online, and those who travelled long distances to offer comfort and support. We are forever grateful for the kindness shown to us, it will never be forgotten.

Our sincere thanks to the staff of Haven Bay Care Centre for the wonderful care and kindness shown to Michael in his final years, and who treated both him and us with such dignity, respect, and love.

We would like to thank Fr. Teddy in St. Columba's Douglas for the beautiful funeral mass, and to Sullivan's Funeral Directors, Turners Cross, for their professionalism at a very sad time. 

It would be impossible to thank everyone individually, so please accept this acknowledgment as an expression of our deepest gratitude. 

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
