heartfelt thanks to all who sympathised with us during our recent sad bereavement.

We are deeply grateful to our kind relatives, friends, and neighbours who called at the family home, brought food during Valerie’s illness and wake, sent sympathy cards, messages via social media, or telephoned. To all who attended the funeral or helped in
any way, thank you so very much.
A special thanks to Revd Canon Matthew Hagan MBE for conducting Valerie’s funeral service and for his visits to Valerie in hospital and at home. Thanks to the church organist, and to Vera Kimmons and the staff who provided refreshments after the service.
We appreciate the committee and staff of St. Mary’s Church Hall, Stewartstown, and Donaghendry Parish Hall for the loan of equipment during the wake. Thank you to all who donated in lieu of flowers to Donaghendry Parish Church, Stewartstown.
Finally, heartfelt thanks to David Cranston and the staff of Holmes of Dungannon for the professional, dignified, and caring manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.
