Noel's wife Phyllis, sons Ken & Trevor, daughters Tanya & Tracey & all his extended family would like to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised with them in their great loss. 

We offer our heartfelt thanks to those who called to pay your respects & equally to those who couldn't be present but kept Noel & all of us in their throughts & prayers. Also to those who attended Noel's funeral by church webcam, thankyou for joining us. Thankyou to those who sent mass cards & flowers, texts, emails &  to those who posted beautiful online condolences & tributes. 

To our own extended families, neighbours & friends, your kindness & support will never be forgotten. Especially to the Kilnamangh Community whose presence during Noel's funeral is greatly appreciated and never forgotten. 

Special thanks to our neighbour, Dr. Carla Hopper who supported the family during Noel's short illness.

Special thanks to the Dublin Fire Brigade whose presence at Noel's Funeral, especially during these difficult times of restrictions, brought such comfort to the family and contributed to giving Noel a send off that we as a family will be forever grateful. 

A heartfelt special thanks to Deacon Don Devaney for his comforting prayers and support in attending Noel's funeral.  

To those who helped in any way, your contribution made our loss more bearable. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgemnt as an expression of our deepest gratitude. 

God saw you were getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
He closed His arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".

In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
It broke our hearts to see you go,
God only takes the best.
