The family of the late Patrick Flanagan of Killenard, Portarlington, County Laois (formerly of Johnsgrove, Rosenallis, County Laois), who died on 23 December 2018, would like to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised with them on their sad loss.

We offer our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, neighbours and well-wishers who visited our home in Killenard, attended the wake, the removal, the Mass and the burial and who provided support for us at this very difficult time. For those who telephoned, travelled long distances, sent floral tributes, cards, letters of sympathy and messages of condolences, we are truly grateful.

A special word of thanks to the management, consultants, doctors, nurses and staff at Midlands Regional Hospital, Tullamore for the kindness and respect that they showed at all times; to all those who participated in the Mass, including the readers and the choir; and, finally, to Maher Funeral Undertakers, for their sensitive and professional handling of all of the arrangements.

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

The Month’s Mind Mass for Patrick Flanagan will be held at 10.30am on Sunday, 27th January 2019 in St John’s Church, Killenard. All are welcome.
