The family of the late Peter Kavanagh, his children Wayne, Damien, Paul & Lisa, their partners & children, his brothers John & Michael, sisters Margaret & Ellen & all of his extended family wish to most sincerely thank all those who made such lovely expressions of condolence at the time of Peter’s passing & in the weeks since.

To family & close friends who were present with us at various different times throughout the funeral, your kindness & support is much appreciated. Equally, to the vast number who couldn’t be with us but sent heartfelt messages of love & sympathy online, by card or letter, through phone calls & texts & those who joined Peter’s funeral celebrations via livestream, we are most grateful & we ask that you keep Peter & us in your hearts & minds.

Very special thanks to the doctors, nurses & staff of St Vincent’s Hospital for their great care throughout Peter’s many visits & sometimes lengthy stays with them & to all at Maryville Surgery.

Thanks also to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors for their kind & professional service.

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.

I will hum the last lilting sorrow of the last act of the opera
& feel its sweetness in my whole body.
Then I will lay me down to dream.
