First Anniversary and Acknowledgement

Daniel (Dan) O’Connell

Millstreet & Clonbanin

 

 Aged 31 years

It is with deep sadness that Daniel’s family mark the first anniversary of his passing.

Daniel was taken from us suddenly on Tuesday 13th December 2022.

Heartfelt thanks to Elaine Flynn and Michael Cleary, the First Responders, Paramedics, Fire Services and all who worked so hard in trying to preserve Daniel’s life following the tragic road traffic collision. We are eternally grateful for all your help.

We offer our sincere gratitude to all those who attended Daniel’s removal and funeral. Some travelled long distances in very inclement weather conditions as a mark of respect for Daniel and to be with us, it is very much appreciated.  Also a huge thank you to all who offered condolences, sent mass cards, messages, letters, wreaths, brought gifts to the house and to all those who shared and acknowledged our grief.

We wish to express our deep appreciation to all who took part in Daniel’s funeral service. To Canon John Fitzgerald and Fr. Donal O’Riordan for celebrating a beautiful funeral Mass. To his friends that took mementos of his life to the alter, the readers, singers and musicians, Margaret O’Farrell and the Cronin Family (Daniel’s Cousins). To Sharon for arranging prayers and mass booklet and to sacristan Julie for all your help, it is very much appreciated.

A very special thanks to Tarrant’s Funeral Services Davy, Cora and Declan for their outstanding professionalism, help, advice and support at such a very difficult time.

Thanks to the management and staff of the Wallis Arms Hotel for a wonderful service following Daniel’s funeral and to Ursula and staff of the Clara Inn who accommodated us after.

We are most grateful to Daniel’s friends for sharing fond memories of Daniel, there was some lovely recall and it is a great help to us in the grieving process.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement of our sincere appreciation. Your kindness, compassion and support will always be remembered.  The holy sacrifice of the Mass has been offered for your intentions.

Daniel’s First Anniversary Mass will take place in St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet at 6.15pm on Saturday 16th December 2023

Deep in our hearts your memory is kept

To love, to cherish, and never forget.

Eily’s Report – 12th December

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

I usually look out, actually step out first thing every morning, no matter what the weather. I like to fill my lungs with the fresh air, it’s gets my system going for the day. Following a severe weather forecast as I went to bed, I eyed a few details around the place to see if I’d suffered any damage. Lucky for me, there was none and I said a little prayer of thanks to God. But there were a couple of signs that showed that some severe gushes passed my way. Tubs full of wet compost etc. were lying over, the first time ever.  It was all calm and dry when I went out, there was a perky blackbird searching for food in the garden.  Picking away as if all was well with  him. I spent a little time observing him, looking so together not a feather out of place. I couldn’t help asking him, where did he sleep last night? Later the robin appeared as I had my breakfast, looking at him outside my window the same question came into my mind. Where did you find solace during the long hours of darkness and storm. Where do they set up home ,how can they find a place that will be safe and dry ,and will stand up to the raging   gushes of wind. Especially during the long months of Winter when the trees have shed their foliage and hedges all cut down. The rapid changes in temperatures and weather conditions a continuous challenge. It’s hard to imagine the we had heavy frost in the middle of last night (Sunday) A friend who had a call of nature in the very early hours saw a bright starry sky with ice on her windows. We could pull up another blanket but  but what can our friends in the wild do. Maybe not all of them make it, but those who do are worthy of great praise for the way they brush themselves off and look all neat and refreshed to face the new day. We really do owe them a little of our time plus a few nuts or crumbs, don’t we?
