ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
McCartney, John R.I.P.
The family of the late John McCartney wish to express their heartfelt appreciation to family, friends, and neighbours who supported them during their recent sad bereavement.
We are deeply grateful to all those who attended the funeral, from near and far, called to the home, attended the cremation, and sent cards, flowers or messages of condolence.
John’s family wishes to especially thank the wider McCartney family for their continued support of John and the family before, during and after his passing. The support of everyone who spoke with and visited John in the hospital in his final months brought him great comfort. We also extend our thanks to the Irish Street Community Centre.
A very special word of thanks is extended to Cara, Michelle, Nuala and Thomas for their help in organising the wake. As well as everyone who played a part in the requiem Mass, including Sophia, Tiarnán, Saorla, Noel, Martin, Peter and Frank. We thank Aoife and Ben for organising the excellent catering provided, as well as the Derby Bar for hosting.
Deep gratitude is extended to the doctors and nurses of Ward 31 in Altnagelvin Hospital for their outstanding, compassionate care in John’s final months. We extend our sincere thanks to Father Gerard Mongan, who stepped in to celebrate the Requiem Mass, and Lily Hill Crematorium for the heartfelt service.
John’s family would like to express their gratitude to the Bradley & McLaughlin Funeral Directors for the professional, compassionate and dedicated manner in which they carried out and guided the family through all aspects of the funeral arrangements.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted as a token of our profound gratitude.
Long Tower Church will be holding a special Requiem Mass on the Feast of All Souls Day, Monday 2nd November at 7.30pm for all parishioners who have passed in the last year.
John will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Maeve, and his children: Áine, John, Ashly, Brian and Naya.
