To those who brought food, and to those local businesses who provided food throughout the wake we offer our thanks.
We wish to sincerely thank Fr Eugene O’Neill for his caring and compassionate Requiem Mass.
Special thanks to Peter Devlin and staff of M Dorman and Son for the dignified and sensitive manner in which the funeral was conducted.
To Gary Harte for preparing the grave efficiently and to Paddy Gates, Sacristan for his support to Fr Eugene.
Our thanks to Damien Donnelly and Lorna Gervin for the beautiful music which enriched the Mass.
To Gervin’s bar and restaurant for providing wonderful food and refreshments after the funeral mass.
