We acknowledge with gratitude St. Joseph’s Church and Leibe Kelly whose contributions made Vera’s funeral Mass all the more special in these challenging times.

We wish to also thank those who sent condolence cards, letters and other messages of sympathy and who made donations to St. Mary’s Nursing Home. We would especially like to thank Mgr Shane McCaughey for the support and understanding he gave to us.
