Thank you to all who visited our home, attended Tom’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent cards, letters and wreaths, telephoned or travelled long distances to offer sympathy & support. Thanks also to all who donated generously in Tom’s memory to the Wicklow Hospice Foundation.

To our wonderful neighbours & friends, we will never forget your kindness, thoughtfulness & generosity of spirit.

Sincere thanks to Fr Joe Doran, Barndarrig & Fr Derek Doyle, Parish Priest, Rathdrum for their prayers, guidance and very moving funeral Mass. Our thanks to Liam Kinsella & John Nolan for their wonderful music.

The Shaw family greatly appreciated the guard of honour given to Tom by Wicklow County Executive I.F.A. and the Farm Family Committee. A special thank you to the Farm Family ladies who provided and served refreshments over the three days of mourning and to the good friends who directed traffic at the family home.

Thank you to Niamh and the staff of Sweeney’s Funeral Home for their caring and professional support.
