John Anthony O’Sullivan, Ballydaly – Acknowledgement & First Anniversary

John Anthony O’Sullivan, Ballydaly, Millstreet, Co. Cork

1st January 1940 ~ 26th November 2020

First Anniversary & Acknowledgement

Anne, and the Family of the Late John Anthony O’Sullivan, Ballydaly would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all those who helped and supported us during his illness, funeral and in the past 12 months.

The final days, were made so much more comfortable due to the professionalism and care of the following:  The District Nurses Maureen, Marie, Teresa and Sharon, Homehelp Christina, the doctors at Tullig Medical Centre, Staff of Mallow Hospital, Staff of Millstreet Hospital, Reens Pharmacy, Nightcare Tim, Staff of Marymount Hospice, Palliative Nurses Phil, Bina, Kathy and Eileen, Fr Jack and Fr. Seán. 

His passing was made so much easier by the sensitively of:  Daffodil Nurse Phil, South Doc & Davy Tarrant Undertaker. 

The Funeral Mass was exactly as John Anthony would have liked. This was down to the attention to detail and passion that Sharon in Parish office, Fr. Pat, Fr. Seán, Sacristan Julie and Singer Joan put into the ceremony. 

 We were so  grateful to Seán Radley that the ceremony was streamed to Millstreet Hospital for Anne. 

We were very humbled by the friends, neighbours and extended family that lined the road from Ballydaly to Millstreet when he left his home at 8.30am on that Friday morning.

And all those that stood outside the church and at the Graveyard where the final prayers were broadcast over his own public address speakers. 

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who wrote messages of sympathy on RIP.ie, sent Mass Cards and took the time to ring or text.  Your thoughtfulness was appreciated.

Covid-19 may have kept everyone physically apart, but we have never felt so surrounded by people with kind hearts and generous natures.

There were so many gestures of kindness and goodwill from so many people that we, as a family, appreciated and will never forget. We won’t name these individuals as there were so many, we’re afraid we’d forget someone. 

A Mass for all those mentioned (and those not), has been offered for your intentions,  in St. Patrick’s Church. Millstreet.

Eily’s Report – November 23rd

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde, and welcome to my weekly report.

It was a very exciting week in Millstreet with the ceremony of  turning on of the Christmas Lights stealing the show over everything else. The hard work that went into the  preparations paid off and thanks to the mild weather of late, even the hanging baskets on the poles looked fresh and colourful. Due to another engagement I missed the speeches and the actual turning on but it was justly rewarding for me to arrive into town and find the place bustling with a carnival atmosphere. Whole families came to town. Tiny tots were dressed up and balloons were popping.  The place was like is used to be in not too distant past. To have world champ Steve Collins to do the necessary and give his speech only reminded us of how fast the past 25 years have flown since he became world champion here in 1995. His friendly demeanor and openness endeared him to all and the youngsters who got his autograph will treasure it all their lives. In his own inimitable style Noel Buckley chairman of our Community Council spoke for us all in fitting words that only he could put together and Margaret Bourke, treasurer of the Community Council made a presentation to Mr Collins on behalf of the people of Millstreet. The Members of our Garda Siochana mingled with the crowd, their friendly presence adding that protective aura which is always so much appreciated. Capabu shop were serving hot chocolate and other goodies while warming crepes with the flavours of your choice were also available on site. All in all it was an occasion to be remembered for all the right reasons and well done to all those who were associated with it. It only goes to show that when Millstreet is asked to do something, they can do it well. A fuller account plus photographs are available on our website.                  While still with the website, it was great to see our own Sean Radley back in action again  for this historic occasion  following his recent foot surgery.
