Michael’s wife Martha, son Michael, daughters Mary, Pauline, Jacqui & Michelle & all his family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for the sympathy & support shown to them throughout their recent sad loss.

Thank you to everyone who visited the funeral home & to all those who attended Michael’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, especially those who travelled long distances. Thank you to those who sent Mass cards, letters & texts, to those who shared happy memories & thoughtful words online & those who couldn’t be present but joined in the celebration of Michael’s life via webcam.

Our most sincere thanks to the wonderful caring staff of Middletown House Nursing Home for the comfort & dignity they brought to Michael’s final weeks.

Special thanks to Fr. Martin Jose & Fr John Dunphy for their comforting prayers & for concelebrating such a beautiful funeral Mass, to our dear friend Naoimh Penston for her wonderful singing & to Bridget Kenny for such lovely accompaniment.

To our colleagues, neighbours & friends, your continued support & kindness is much appreciated & will never be forgotten.

Thanks also to the management & staff of the Arklow Bay Hotel for their hospitality, to Jason & Tom for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney and 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.

Michael’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 8th June at 11.30am in St.’s Mary & Peter’s Church. Those who cannot attend are welcome to join via webcam:
