Derek HANNA
We the family of the late Dr Joseph Derek Hanna of Newry, would like to express our deepest appreciation for the kindness, sympathy and support extended to us by so many during our recent bereavement.
Sincerest thanks to all who have shared their condolences and fond memories of Derek with us in person and in writing, who donated in lieu of flowers to Evora hospice, and who in the weeks since Derek’s passing have supported our family, and in particular Derek’s beloved wife Anna, with ongoing care and thoughtfulness.
We’d like to acknowledge and thank the Rev. Stuart Finlay who delivered a beautiful service of thanksgiving for Derek’s life at Sandy’s St Presbyterian Church, to Andrew Dalzell who facilitated the attendance and participation at the funeral of Derek’s family and friends overseas, to Evelyn Annett who provided music at the service, and to Sharon and William Conn who provided catering.
We are profoundly grateful to Gavin, Declan and all at George Preston Funeral Directors for their professionalism and care throughout.
Our final heartfelt thanks goes to all the wonderful health and social care professionals who cared for Derek with such compassion and kindness, especially the staff at Bessbrook Surgery, Ann’s Home Care, the community district nursing and palliative care teams, and the truly exceptional staff at Evora hospice. We are forever grateful.
