Our families will be forever thankful to all who called to the wake from near and far and traveled from England and from the South to attend the funeral, watched on line, telephoned, sent cards, messages, flowers and for sharing so many wonderful funny stories, of which there were many.
A special word of thanks to our neighbours and those who generously gave their time, brought food or helped in any way with the wake and funeral, and for managing the traffic at the wake we are eternally grateful.
Our family will be forever indebted to our close friends who carried us all through Paul’s illness over the past few months and never flinched when called upon. The love and support you gave us all was unending. Words cannot express how grateful we are for your kindness love and generosity shown to us. You are still here for us who have been left behind.
Heartfelt thanks to Fr Thomas McHugh for the beautiful Requiem Mass, Fr Eugene ONeill for spiritual guidance and Fr P Hannigan for calling to our house we couldn’t have done this without all your advice and guidance. To Stacy and Fionnuala and Damien who sang at Paul’s funeral, he would have loved the music and songs. Thank you to the Sacristan, our readers, the grave digger and everyone who took part in the mass. Our sincere thanks also to Brian Pagni for his very moving eulogy. You summed Paul up perfectly.
A word of appreciation for the Guard of Honour from St Patrick’s Academy staff and pupils and for parents and players of Eoghan Ruadh Hurling club Dungannon. To the staff of Tesco and Home Bargains Dungannon thank you for the support you showed our boys and us all.
A special thanks to Paudge Quinn for his professionalism and empathy shown throughout Paul’s passing and for looking after us throughout the funeral and wake. Thanks also to Brackaville club and Nicola for looking after the funeral and for the catering and refreshments.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope that this acknowledgment will be accepted as an expression of our gratitude.
The sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for all your intentions. Paul’s Months Mind will be celebrated Friday 10th January 2025 at 7.30pm in St Mary and St Joseph’s Church Brackaville.
