Tommy’s family wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to all those who sympathised with us on the heartbreaking loss of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone from near and far who called to the wake to pay their respects, who attended the funeral, watched via webcam, sent flowers, cards, and messages of condolences.
A special word of thanks to the doctors, nurses, and supporting assistants at the ED and Ward 44, Altnagelvin for the care they provided to Tommy during his short illness. We would also like to thank the carers and Quayside Medical Team. The compassion, and kindness they provided to Tommy and our family will never be forgotten, you are a credit to your profession, truly heaven sent.
A special word of thanks to all those family and friends who made sure everyone had a cup of tea and a bite to eat during the wake, and for those who brought food, you are all far too many to name personally. You are all brilliant, we could not have done it without you all.
Thank you Fr Paul, St Eugene’s, and Fr Canny Waterside, for their spiritual guidance throughout Tommy’s short illness and their prayers and reflections at the hospital and during the wake. To all those who participated in the Mass, and all those at St Eugene’s for the lovely sentiments during the Requiem, and to Michelle Conagan, thank you for the beautiful singing.
Finally, our sincerest thanks to Kieran, Gordon, Noeleen, and the entire team at WJ O’Brien & Son Funeral Directors. The dignity, care, and compassion shown ensured that Tommy was laid to rest with great grace and respect. We are truly forever grateful.
We will miss you forever Tommy. Thank you to everyone who helped us honour Tommy’s life, with great solemnity, love, and humour. We are truly blessed with the best family, friends, and colleagues. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of thanks, respect, love, and deepest gratitude.
Tommy’s month mind Mass will be held is St Eugene’s Cathedral on Saturday, 28th February at 7:30pm. Everyone welcome.
