A special word of thanks to Father Seán Mulligan 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, our singer Sinead Taggart and her accompanist Plunkett McGartland 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 Pat’s final resting place. Thanks also to Roisin of Nettles and Petals for the beautiful floral tributes, and to the St Patrick’s Hall ladies for the most welcome refreshments after the burial.
