Matthew James Healy – Acknowledgement & First Anniversary

In loving memory of Matthew James Healy, whose First Anniversary occurs on 9th of February 2025.
Deeply loved, sadly missed and always remembered by his heartbroken Dad, James, his grandfather, aunt, uncles, cousins and extended family, neighbours and friends.

As we lovingly remember Matthew at this time, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who sympathized with us, attended the funeral, sent Mass cards, posted on RIP.ie, our neighbours, friends and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief. We would also like to especially mention the hundreds of condolences received from those who are unknown to us personally, both nationally and internationally; this outpouring of support was heartwarming at such a difficult time.

A heartfelt thank you to the community in Waterford who held vigils in Matthew’s name and to Faithlegg National School, where Matthew was a pupil, for their support.

We are deeply indebted to all the emergency personnel, first responders, Gardaí and staff at University Hospital Waterford who worked tirelessly to try and save Matthew’s life.

We are profoundly thankful to Davy, Declan & Cora, and all at Tarrant’s Undertakers, for their professionalism, personal touch and the support they gave us in the depths of grief.

A sincere word of thanks to Fr. Christy, who concelebrated Matthew’s funeral mass with Fr. Liam Power from Waterford, with the support from staff in Watergrasshill Parish and the choir; your support and guidance to help us through this difficult time has been very much appreciated.

A sincere thank you to the owners and staff at The Island Crematorium Ringaskiddy, who went above and beyond to make it a most special goodbye to our little man.

We would also like to thank the media, who covered Matthew’s death in a most respectful and empathetic way and for allowing us the space to grieve our little man as privately as possible.

We are deeply indebted to the community of Watergrasshill; the support shown to us during Matthew’s funeral and since, has been the greatest display of humanity from a community; it is heartwarming to witness. From everyone who helped out in the house, controlled traffic and parking, provided food, and organised elements of the funeral, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we could not have managed without you.

As we cannot thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our gratitude.  The Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Matthew’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Sunday, 9th February at 11:30 a.m. in Church of the Immaculate Conception, Watergrasshill, Eircode T56H320.

May he Rest in Peace

Eily’s Report – 4th February

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

You can’t bate (beat) the Irish. For weeks we’ve been punished and lashed by all kinds of weather, culminating in the worst gales that ever hit the land, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake and people on the point of despair.  Then a little over a week later along comes the Feast Day of St. Brigid and suddenly the mood changes into an extravaganza of celebrations and parades in every corner of the Country. I feel like saying ‘Congratulations Bridget at last you have ‘arrived’. A National Bank Holyday all to yourself.  Never have I seen so much excitement.  It was as though every community, every single person wanted to shake off the shackles of Storm Eowyn  and be part of it all. It was as though we were only too glad to change the subject and face the future with new hope, now that our Mary of the Gaels got her place among the Elite of the Great where we can pay new homage to her and be confident of her help in the future.

Afternoon Tea

 

Yesterday a very successful Afternoon Tea was held in Corkery’s Bar.  Originally planned for Women’s Little Christmas, the snow unfortunately put an abrupt stop to the plans. How fitting that, instead, it was held on the weekend of the feast day of St. Brigid.
Organised by the Juvenile board of Millstreet GAA and with food and table settings provided by The Pastry Fork, the entire afternoon went down a real treat.
A massive thank you to Patrick and Caroline Corkery who were so accommodating and helpful before, during and after the occasion. Thanks also to Margaret Barrett Mortgage Navigators for the very generous spot prizes.
A wonderful afternoon was had and it was agreed that it must become an annual event!

We, David’s family, would like to thank everyone that supported us during David’s Funeral. We would like to thank the First Responders and work colleagues who attended to David that day.

Jack for the lovely Funeral Mass, David Tarrant Undertakers for the kindness and professionalism and Siobhan Burke for the lovely singing at the Church. While it’s impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our appreciation.

It does not take a special day,
To bring you back to mind,
A day without a thought of you,
Is impossible to find.
Today we light a candle,
And say a special prayer,
We take a trip down memory lane,
And know that you are there.
This is your anniversary,
You would not want a fuss,
Just to be remembered,
And a prayer from all of us.
It is not what we write today,
It is not what we say,
It’s how your family feel today.
We think of you today,
We think of you in silence,
We talk about you too,
We have some great memories,
But we wish we still had you.

David’s first anniversary Mass will be celebrated in Dromagh Church on Sunday, 2nd February at 10 o’clock.
Sadly missed by his wife Mary, sons Dylan, Dean and Stephen his sisters Gillian and Kerry, his grand-daughters Hayley and Adeline, daughter-in-law to be Ciara and extended family.
