On the First Anniversary of Noel’s death, his wife Breda, his daughter Adah, father Tom and mother Nancy, brother, sisters and extended family, wish to express sincere thanks to those who sympathised with us on the very sad loss of Noel.

We are very grateful to all who sent messages of condolence, mass cards, flowers and gifts, and showed support and love in so many other ways over the past year.   Special thanks to Noel’s entire medical and nursing team in Midlands Regional Hospital, Mullingar.   We are so thankful for the support and kindness shown to us by his extended family, and his many friends, neighbours, customers and colleagues.   To all the local people from the community and surrounding areas who came out to do guard of honour on both days, it meant so much to us all, thank you.   

Sincere thanks also to Fr. Oliver Devine, PP who celebrated his funeral Mass, to Eddie Geraghty Undertaker and grave diggers and to all those who helped us to give Noel a small, but perfectly formed send off, despite public health restrictions.

As it would not be possible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will serve as a token of our appreciation and gratitude.

Noel’s First Anniversary mass will take place on Easter Sunday, 4th April, at 11am and can be viewed on Ballymore and Boher Parish Facebook page and also on ballymoreanddrumraneyparishes.ie
