Thank you to Margaret the Sacristan for all her help.
We thank Dr Mitchel and all at Lineside Health Centre for the exceptional care given to Bertha and the support shown to our family throughout her final weeks. We are also extremely grateful to the Renal Team in Belfast City Hospital who cared for Bertha over the past few years, they brought great professionalism, personality and encouragement to Bertha. Our thanks and appreciation to the district Nursing team and Marie Curie for their continued professional and personal care of Bertha in her final weeks and to Enable Care for their exceptional care and support given to Bertha.
We are so grateful to Edel and Patsy Taggart of Taggart Funeral Services for their professionalism, compassion and dignified handling of all funeral arrangements and their tremendous attention to detail throughout the wake and funeral.

A special word of thanks to Margaret Ann Conlon for the very fitting music at Berthas funeral mass. To Clonoe Community Centre and Linda for providing refreshments after the funeral.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope this acknowledgement will be accepted as a sincere token of our heartfelt appreciation. Your kindness, prayers, support and generosity have been a great comfort to us at this difficult time.
Bertha was a much-loved wife, mother and grandmother and we feel lucky to have had her in so many of our lives for so long.
