Paul’s wife Colette, daughter Katie-Maree, son Acquelino and all our family wish to extend our most sincere thanks for the kindness and  support shown to us throughout our recent sad loss.

Thank you to everyone who visited our home to pay their respects & share happy memories and to all those who attended his removal, funeral Mass and cremation service, especially those who travelled long distances. Thank you to those who sent Mass cards, letters or texts, those who phoned, wrote or shared kind condolences online, those who couldn’t be present but joined in the celebration of Paul’s life via the parish webcam and to those who donated generously to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Paul’s memory;

Our most sincere thanks to the team at Sheltonville Surgery and to the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital for the comfort and  care they brought to Paul’s final weeks. Thank you also to the kind & helpful staff of First Choice Pharmacy.

Special thanks to Fr. Martin Jose for his prayers, guidance & lovely funeral Mass and to Avril O’Toole and  Rosarie Kinsella for such beautiful music.

To our extended families, our work colleagues & our friends, your compassion is much appreciated and will never be forgotten. To our wonderful neighbours we thank you not just for so many years of friendship & kindness but for your continued love and support.

Thanks also to the management & staff of the Arklow Bay Hotel for their hospitality, to the team at Mount Jerome Crematorium and 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.

Paul’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 10th August at 11.30am in St.’s Mary & Peter’s Church.

Those who cannot attend are welcome to join via the parish webcam:
