The death has occurred of:
Bernadette LOFTUS (née Daly)
We, the family of the late Bernie Loftus, wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all family members, friends and neighbours for their kindness, sympathy, support and generosity on our recent sad bereavement.
Thanks to everyone who called at the house, attended the wake and funeral, sent cards, messages of sympathy, and floral tributes, supplied food or helped in any way. Thanks also to the founding members of Eglish Camogie Club who formed a guard of honour at the church entrance.
A special thanks to those who looked after Bernie during her short illness, especially the NI Ambulance Service, doctors, nurses and the multidisciplinary team within the Intensive Care Unit at Craigavon Area Hospital.
We are very grateful to Father Thomas McHugh and Father John Heagney for their guidance and support and for celebrating such a meaningful Requiem Mass. A particular thanks to Father Martin Loftus (brother-in-law) for his warm reflections on Bernie’s life and his recollection of happy family memories which brought a smile to all of our faces.
A very special thank you to the musicians and singers, Pat Casey, Gerry Cunningham and the Daly sisters for the uplifting traditional music which Bernie loved and appreciated so much throughout her life.
Thanks to Benedict J Martin & Son, Moy, for the efficient and dignified manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out.
Finally, heartfelt thanks to Vincent and Marian Daly and the staff of the Ryandale, Moy, for providing refreshments for the wake and the beautiful meal after the funeral.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere gratitude and appreciation.
Bernie’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 26th October at 10am in St John’s Church, Moy.
