The death has occurred of:
Lorraine McCaffrey
We, the family of the late Lorraine McCaffrey, would like to thank everyone who supported us following her very sad passing.
We were deeply moved by the kindness, generosity and support we received and will never forget the many ways in which our family, friends, neighbours and communities came to our help.
Thank you to everyone who visited Lorraine in hospital, bringing comfort and companionship during her time there, and to everyone who attended the removal and funeral, offered their sympathies, provided food or helped in countless other ways. Thank you to everyone who has called to the house since the funeral and to all who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards and personal messages. Your presence and thoughtful gestures have brought us great comfort at this most difficult time.
We extend our sincere thanks to the priests who visited Lorraine in hospital for their prayers, blessings and spiritual support. We also thank all the priests who visited the wake house, attended the removal and concelebrated the Funeral Mass.
Thank you to Fr. D’Arcy, Fr. Martin, Fr. McManus, Fr. Mawn, Fr. McTiernan, Fr. Quinn, Fr. Comiskey, Fr. McMorrow, and Fr. McDermott.
Thank you to Fr Seán Maguire for celebrating such a beautiful, personal and uplifting Funeral Mass and for delivering a homily that captured Lorraine so well. Our thanks also to those who formed the heartwarming guards of honour, to the ushers, and to all those who lined the route as Lorraine made her final journey home. Sincere thanks to Clare Maguire and Niamh Crudden for providing the beautiful music at the removal and funeral. We appreciate everyone who helped in giving Lorraine such a loving and dignified farewell.
Thank you to Roches and all the staff for providing refreshments after the funeral and to the Kinawley Community Hall committee for making the hall available.
Our thanks also to Paschal Conway and Nigel Sweeney of J.P. Conway Funeral Directors for the professionalism and compassion with which they carried out the funeral arrangements, and for their support throughout.
We extend our sincere thanks to the gravediggers for the care and respect with which they prepared Lorraine’s final resting place, and for their time and hard work.
Our sincere thanks also to Dr Mallon and Dr McConville and all the staff at Lorraine’s GP practice, to the staff of Derrylin Chemist, St John Ambulance and to all those who cared for Lorraine at home. We are indebted to you for all your care and support throughout her illness.
Finally, our heartfelt thanks to all the doctors, nurses and healthcare staff who cared for Lorraine, both in Altnagelvin Hospital and in South West Acute Hospital, Enniskillen, where she spent her final weeks. Your kindness and dedication brought great comfort to Lorraine and to all of us throughout her illness, and are deeply appreciated by our whole family.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere appreciation to you all. Your kindness and support will always be remembered.
Lorraine’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, 15th November, at 11am in St. Náile’s Church, Kinawley.
