McDAID, Christopher Noel (Christy)

McDAID - Christopher Noel (Christy) First Anniversary.

Christy (Willow Wheelers) is lovingly remembered and deeply missed by Mirette, his extended family, his closest friends, members of the Willow Wheelers, and the whole community of Blackrock College and Willow Park School, where he taught for many years. He is also fondly remembered by his many friends in Africa, Brazil and Vietnam, whose lives were touched by Christys work with the Willow Wheelers.

Mirette would like to express her heartfelt thanks to all who supported her throughout Christys illness, and for the kindness and practical help shown to Christy, which was greatly appreciated at the time.

Sincere thanks to everyone who sent messages of condolence and Mass cards, to all who offered such thoughtful words of sympathy, and to those who shared the many treasured stories of Christy and his wonderful sense of fun.

Our heartfelt thanks also to Monsignor Ciarán OCarroll, Fr. Nash C.S.Sp, Fr. OBrolchain C.S.Sp, O Donovans Funeral Home, Brona Folens for the beautiful music, and to the parish team in Booterstown for the meaningful and uplifting celebration of Christys life.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Monsignor Shane Mc McCaughey and Breslins Funeral Home, Bundoran, for arranging the funeral services with such dignity, care and compassion.

We remember with gratitude Christys brother, the late Bishop Liam McDaid, Bishop Emeritus of Clogher, and all who supported and comforted Christy following Liams sudden death. Christy will be remembered at the Vigil Mass in the Church of the Assumption, Booterstown at 6pm on Saturday February 28, and also at the Vigil Mass in the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Bundoran at 7pm on Saturday, February 28.

Grief is the price we pay for love.
