We would like to thank most sincerely the Casey Family and all the staff at Tullig Medical Centre, all the staff at Reen’s Pharmacy South Doc, The National Ambulance service and the staff at Mallow General Hospital, the Public Health Nurses, Home Helps and numerous dedicated carers over the years, which made it possible for him to stay at home for so long.

We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald and Fr David Herlihy for celebrating the funeral mass, we would like to thank Fr John for his many home visits over the years. Thanks to Sharon Lane and Julie Brady for assistance and Jerry Doody for the beautiful singing and music in the church.
