Palliative Care Team for their compassion in caring for Mum at home. Our sincerest gratitude to Rev. Andrew Ison for conducting Mum’s beautiful funeral service and for his guidance, support and comfort. To the members and friends of Emlaghfad Parish Church for the preparation, flowers and music for Mum’s service, and to Michael Perry, Undertaker, and the gravediggers, our sincerest appreciation. Our heartfelt gratitude to friends and past staff of Gillmor’s Ltd., and to Fr. James McDonagh for organising and providing a Remembrance Mass for Mum.
