The family of the late Arthur Doyle of Kilmore West, Dublin 5, wish to acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy and gestures of kindness shown to us following our sad loss.

We offer our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, neighbours and well wishers who visited Arthur's home and provided emotional and practical support for us at this difficult time. For those who telephoned, sent cards and messages of condolences, we are truly grateful.

A special word of thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Beaumont hospital; to the staff and carers at Kare Plan for their kindness and respect shown at all times; to the public health nurses, CIT nurses, and all who cared for Arthur during the last four years of his life; to the staff at the Bus Stop shop; to all who participated in the Mass, Fr Gary, Sr Bernadine, the musicians, and finally to Jennings Funeral Directors for their sensitive and professional handling of arrangements.

To those who helped in any way, your contribution made our loss more bearable. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our deepest gratitude. The holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
