On the occasion of Tom’s first anniversary, his daughters Noreen and Siobhán, sons Con, John, Tomás and Donal, daughters in law Helen, Joanne, son in law Niall and his adored seven grandchildren would like to acknowledge the many gestures of kindness and sympathy shown to us
throughout Tom’s illness and funeral.
We are deeply indebted to our dedicated Community Health nurses, Dad’s committed carers, Marymount Hospice Support Team and The Irish Cancer Society Night Nurses for the remarkable kindness and care shown to him. We would like to extend our thanks to the entire staff at Dr. Leaders’s Surgery, Boherbue and all in Reens’s Pharmacy Millstreet. We wish to thank everyone who attended the funeral ceremonies and those who travelled long distances to be with us. Our sincere appreciation to Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins for the attendance at the funeral mass of his Aide de Camp, Colonel Stephen Howard and to the Tánaiste Micheál Martin
acknowledging the contribution of our late father to the Irish state and his commitment and dedication to his constituents. Thank you to those who telephoned, sent mass cards, sympathy cards, novenas and letters, celebrated masses, placed messages of condolence on RIP.ie and those
who participated in the live streaming of Tom’s funeral mass. We remember with gratitude those who would have liked to attend but could not and remembered us in their thoughts and prayers.
A sincere word of thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald P.P. Millstreet, who celebrated Tom’s funeral mass and recited prayers at the graveside assisted by Fr. Bartie Doherty, Kiltegan Fathers, Fr Paddy Byrne, Millstreet and Fr Liam Kelleher, Cobh. Our gratitude to Seán Ó Sé, traditional singer, Margaret Healy, soloist accompanied by Leah Murphy on the organ for their beautiful singing and music. Thanks to Margaret Murphy, sacristan and to Garden of Eve flower shop.
We thank Davy, Cora, Martina and Declan of Tarrant’s Undertakers for their support, advice, empathy and professionalism, Peter O’ Callaghan for the excellent streaming of Tom’s mass. Our sincere thanks to the Gardaí of Millstreet Garda Station and to the stewards for the professional manner in which the organisation of traffic and parking was managed ensuring the safe flow of traffic during the funeral.
We will always cherish and remember with gratitude everyone who stood in respectful silence in the various Guards of Honour and the people who stood in respect along the roadside on the journey to St. Mary’s Cemetery. To those who helped in any way, your contribution made our loss more
bearable. It would be impossible to thank everyone individually, kindly accept this acknowledgement of our sincere appreciation.
Masses have been offered for your intentions.
