Ba mhaith linn buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil le chuile dhuine a chásamh ár mbris linn agus a thug chuile thacaíocht agus cúnamh dúinn ag an am deacair seo. Tá fear céile, athair, daideo agus athair céile álainn, cineálta agus séimh imithe uainn.

Ba mhaith linn buíochas a ghabháil le chuile dhuine a rinne comhbhrón linn trí theachtaireachtaí fóin, cártaí Aifrinn, litreacha agus bláthanna. Buíochas leo siúd ar fad a sheas ar thaobhanna an bhóthair le linn aimsir na sochraide. Ár mbuíochas dár gcairde, gaolta agus comharsana a thug bia chuig an teach agus a thug aon chúnamh a bhí ag teastáil. Buíochas leis na fir a réitigh an uaigh agus leis an adhlacóir Pádraig Joe Joe a bhí chomh cineálta agus proifisiúnta. Buíochas leis an Athair Billy a léigh Aifreann na sochraide. Buíochas chomh maith leis na dochtúirí sa Spidéal agus leis na dochtúirí agus altraí in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh a thug aire do Shéamuisín sna laethanta deireanacha. Táimid go mór faoi chomaoin agaibh ar fad.

Ó tharla nach bhfuil ar ár gcumas buíochas a ghlacadh le chuile dhuine go pearsanta, tá súil againn go nglacfar leis an bhfocal buíochais seo uainn. Léifear Aifreann buíochais ar bhur son. Beidh Aifreann míosa Shéamuisín ar siúl an 27 Bealtaine ag 7in i Séipéal na Tulaí.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all who supported and sympathised with us during this extremely difficult time. We are heartbroken with the loss of a wonderful, kind, and gentle husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law.

We would like to thank all those who sent condolences through messages, mass cards, phone calls, letters, and flowers. We would also like to thank all the people who stood on the roadside in support during the funeral cortege. A heartfelt thanks to all our friends, neighbours and relatives who brought food to the house and who provided help and support during those difficult days. A special thank you to the grave diggers and the undertaker Pádraig Joe Joe who was so kind and professional. Thank you to Fr. Billy who celebrated the funeral mass and to the doctors in Spiddal Medical Centre, the doctors, and nurses in UHG who cared for Séamuisín in his final days. We are very grateful to each and every one of you.

As it is impossible for us to thank everyone individually, we hope you accept this thank you note, a mass will be celebrated on your behalf. The Month’s Mind Mass for Séamuisín will take place on May 27 in Séipéal na Tulaí at 7pm.
