William Rea – Acknowledgement and First Anniversary

William Rea – Acknowledgement and First Anniversary

William Rea

47 Murphy‘s Terrace, Millstreet

On the First Anniversary of Willie’s passing, Margaret and family would like to express sincere gratitude to friends and neighbours and all those who offered sympathy and sent Mass cards. A special thanks to our neighbours who stood outside as Willie left his home for the last time. We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald for celebrating the Funeral Mass, Sharon Lane, and Julie Brady for all their help and Jerry Doody and organist for the music in the church and at the graveyard. Thanks also to Davy Tarrant, Cora O’Riordan and Declan Brady for their kindness and professionalism throughout.

A special thanks to the staff at Millstreet Community Hospital who cared for Willie in the last year of his life and before that to Jim, Nadeem and Eileen for the care he received at home. Thank you also to the past and present members of Millstreet Fire Brigade who provided a guard of honour at the Funeral Mass.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgment as an expression of our deepest gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions. The First Anniversary Mass will be held in St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet on Saturday 7th June at 6.15pm.

Eily’s Report – 3rd June

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

I didn’t sleep very well last night, I don’t know why but the shut eye evaded me for hours. Everybody has their own way of dealing with insomnia. It has to be very annoying for those who suffer from it regularly. Thankfully that is not the case with me, not very often anyway. And when it does I just lie there and resign myself to the fact that this is it for me till the morning.  Reading a little often helps or a glance at Facebook.  The loss of sleep leaves you drowsy and not in full command of your plans for the new day. But with a little effort I’ll get by. It’s a lively day outside. There is a fresh breeze with a brightness without direct sunshine and the flowers and rose trees are dancing to the tune of the birds. Enough to spur anybody out of a lazy mood.
