A letter of acknowledgement and appreciation from the family of the late Rita Gribben (Randalstown).
Rita’s family wish to express their sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone who sympathised and supported them in their recent bereavement. They are deeply grateful to their relatives, friends and neighbours who called to the family home, helped at the wake, brought food, sent Mass or Sympathy cards, posted online tributes, attended and/or watched the funeral Mass on-line, especially those who travelled long distances to offer comfort and support.
Sincere thanks to the staff the Causeway Hospital, Coleraine for the great care and respect provided to Rita in her final days. Thanks to Father Damien McCaughan for his spiritual support at the Causeway Hospital.
Special thanks to Canon John Forsythe for his spiritual support, guidance, pastoral care and for celebrating Rita’s Requiem Mass. Thanks for the lovely music by Siobhan Flanagan and to all the Parish volunteers at St. Mac Nissi’s. Thanks to the Parish Centre for hosting the refreshments after Rita’s funeral and to Grainne and the team who provided the catering.
Sincere thanks to Marrion’s Funeral Directors for their professionalism and the dignified handling of all the funeral arrangements.
