Timmy (Thady) McSweeney Rathcoole
Acknowledgement & 1st Anniversary

In loving memory of Timmy (Thady) who died on the 26th October 2024.
On this his 1st anniversary, we the family wish to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to all who supported us during his illness and during our sad loss.
A special thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald P.P. for celebrating Timmy’s mass and for the beautiful music. Our heartfelt thanks to Davy and all at Tarrant’s Undertakers your compassion and guidance was truly appreciated during those difficult days.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Woodbrook Family Practice and to Mallow General Hospital, Cork University Hospital & St Vincents Dublin, who provided us with so much support, professionalism and empathy in the care of Timmy.
Words cannot express how thankful we are to our relatives, neighbours and good friends. We thank all those who stood guard of honour and escorted Timmy to St Mary Cemetery, especially Dromtariffe GAA, Kanturk rugby club, his colleagues at DAF Cork, Collins transport and all his friends from the motorbike community.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to those of you who sympathised, telephoned, texted, and sent flowers, mass cards and condolences on RIP.ie , and to those who attended Timmy’s funeral mass, our home and who bought food and refreshments. We like to thank also the people who travelled long journeys to offer their sympathy, and to those who called to Timmy in his final days
we will be forever grateful.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this notice as an expression of our appreciation. The Holy sacrifice of mass has been offered for your intentions.
Timmy’s First Anniversary mass will be celebrated in Derrinagree Church on Saturday 1st November at 7.30 p.m.
