The death has occurred of:
John GRAHAM
The family of the late John Graham wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all who offered sympathy and support following the recent loss of our much-loved Husband, Father, Granda, Father-in-law, Brother, and cherished member of our wider family circle.
We have been deeply touched and overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and care shown to us by family, friends, neighbours, and the wider community during this difficult time. Our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and assisted at the wake. To all who phoned, sent Mass and sympathy cards, flowers, and messages, and to those who attended the Requiem Mass or joined us via webcam — your compassion and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Father Boyle for the comforting and meaningful service in celebrating Dad’s life. Our thanks also to Andrea Begley and Plunkett McGartland for the beautiful music and singing, which added so much to the Mass, and to the readers and gift bearers for their valued participation.
The family would also like to thank the nurses and staff of Antrim Area Hospital, Loy Medical Centre, and Allen’s Chemist for the care, dignity, and comfort shown to Dad in his final days.
A special word of thanks to Niall A. Loughran Funeral Directors, for the professional, compassionate, and dignified manner in which all funeral arrangements were carried out. We also thank the grave diggers for preparing Dad’s final resting place with such care, thank you also to Conor McCallion for the beautiful piping.
Our thanks to Paula and all the staff of the Glenavon House Hotel for providing refreshments both at the house and afterwards.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgment will be accepted as a token of our sincere appreciation.
John’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 1st February in Holy Trinity Church, Cookstown, at 12:00pm, and may also be viewed online via the link below.
