ACKNOWLEDGEMENT / MONTH'S MIND MASS
Eileen McCOURT
Died 6th July 2026
The family of the late Eileen McCourt, 18 Little Diamond, would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the kindness, support and sympathy we received during our recent bereavement. Our heartfelt gratitude is extended to everyone who called at the house, sent Mass cards, flowers and messages of sympathy. It was a great source of comfort for us to receive such support from our family, friends, neighbours and wider community during this very difficult time.
We wish to thank all the family and friends who visited Eileen at home, in Altnagelvin Hospital and in the Foyle Hospice throughout her illness. Your presence, prayers and support meant so much to Eileen and to all our family.
A special word of thanks is extended to Fr Paul Farren, Fr Shaun Doherty and Fr Colum Clerkin of St Eugene's Cathedral for their visits to Eileen at home, in hospital and in the Foyle Hospice, which brought her great comfort, peace and spiritual support during her illness.
We are truly grateful to all those who cared for Eileen at home, especially her carers, district nurses, palliative care nurses and the ambulance staff who assisted in bringing her to the Foyle Hospice. We also wish to thank the staff, nurses and doctors of Ward 41, Altnagelvin Hospital, for their care and attention. Our deepest gratitude is extended to the staff, nurses and doctors of the Foyle Hospice for the exceptional care, compassion and dignity shown to Eileen and to our family during her final days. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
We would also like to thank everyone who provided food and refreshments during the wake, especially Kevin Daly and Collon Take Away. We are particularly grateful to Eileen, Jacqueline, and Ann for their invaluable help and support throughout the wake, and to Pilots Row for their assistance with the preparations.
Our sincere thanks to Fr Farren for the beautiful Requiem Mass and for his warm and comforting words about Eileen. Thanks also to everyone who participated in the liturgy through the readings, Prayers of the Faithful and Offertory Procession. A special word of thanks to Anne-Marie Hickey for her beautiful singing, which greatly enhanced the Mass.
We wish to thank Bradley & McLaughlin Funeral Directors for the professional, caring and dignified way they carried out the funeral arrangements.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted as a token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
Our Lady of Lourdes, St Anthony and Sister Clare, pray for Eileen.
Eileen's Month's Mind Mass will be celebrated on Friday 7th August 2026 at 7.30pm in St Eugene's Cathedral, Derry.
