We the family of the late Mary Martin, would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who offered their condolences, prayers and support during our recent sad bereavement.
Mary was a widely respected lady, adored mother of Seamus, Mickey, Francie and Kathleen. Mother in law of Breege, Kathleen and Marie. Much loved granny, great granny, sister, aunt and friend.
Thank you to everyone who called to the wake in Grianan House Funeral Home, special thanks to those who brought food or helped, this was greatly appreciated. Our thanks also to everyone who sent Mass or Sympathy cards, messages, or flowers, and to those who lined the funeral route or who joined us at the Requiem Mass.
We are blessed to have had the love and support of our friends, neighbours and work colleagues. Your support throughout this difficult time, has helped us in so many ways, to grieve as a family.
A special word of thanks to Father Seán Mulligan C.C. for his spiritual support and the very comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan and everyone who took part in the Liturgy, especially our readers and our singer Mollie McKeever who provided the beautiful reverent and uplifting music.
Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner, in which the funeral arrangements were carried out, and to the gravedigger Tommy for preparing Mary’s final resting place. Thank you also to Roisin of Nettles and Petals for the lovely floral tribute and to the St Patrick’s Hall ladies for the very welcome refreshments after the burial.
And finally, we send our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to all the medical professionals and carers with whom Mary came into contact, especially the home carers who called with her everyday. We are very grateful for all your help, and for the warmth and kindness shown to Mary.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our gratitude and appreciation.
Mary is loved and missed every day. May her gentle, kind, generous soul be granted peace and eternal rest. Her Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St. Lawrence’s Church, Fintona on Saturday 11th October at 6pm. Our Lady pray for her.
