Stephanie’s husband John, daughter Nessa, sons Eoin, Phelim, Kealan and all our family wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of comfort and support shown to us during our recent sad loss. Thank you to all those who travelled from far and near to attend the funeral home, Stephanie’s Requiem Mass and burial, along with those who joined us online. Thank you to those who phoned, sent mass cards, text messages, sympathy cards, letters of sympathy, those who sent floral wreaths, left messages of condolences on rip.ie and those who kept us in their prayers.
