Paddy’s wife Dorcas, sons Gerard, P.J., Noel & Raymond, his brothers & all his family would like to extend their most sincere thanks for many expressions of sympathy & support shown to them throughout their recent sad loss.

Thank you to everyone who visited the funeral home & all those who attended Paddy’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, especially those who travelled long distances. Thank you to those who sent Mass cards, letters & texts, those who shared happy memories & comforting words online & those who couldn’t be present but joined in the celebration of Paddy’s life via webcam. Thanks also to those who donated generously to The Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland in Paddy’s memory; https://alzheimer.ie/

Thank you to the wonderful caring staff of Terenure Nursing Home for the comfort & dignity they brought to Paddy’s final months.

Special thanks to Fr. Michael Murphy & Fr Eugene McCarthy for celebrating such a beautiful funeral Mass, to the sacristy team at St.’s Mary & Patrick’s Church & to Michael Flood & Patricia Kavanagh for such lovely music.

Thanks also to the management & staff of the Woodenbridge 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.

Paddy’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 2nd March at 11.30am in St.’s Mary & Patrick’s Church, Avoca. Those who cannot attend are welcome to join via webcam;
