BOURKE

BOURKE (John) (Vernon Grove, Rathgar and formerly of Clonaslee, Co Laois) - John's wife Betty and sons Declan and Brian, together with the Bourke and Conlon families wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to all who supported and comforted them during their recent sad loss. A special word of thanks to our wonderful friends and neighbours who helped us in such practical ways during those long difficult days and to all those who sympathised with us and travelled from near and far to attend John's funeral. We gratefully acknowledge the support we received from John's current and former colleagues and business associates. We extend our appreciation to all the priests who comforted us and led us in prayer in our home, at the Church and in the graveyard. The Holy Ghost Fathers, staff and students of St Mary's College, we will never forget your support. The care and compassion shown to John and his family by the staff of St James' Hospital will always by in our hearts. We also extend our thanks to the Castle Golf Club for their consideration shown to us and to An Garda Síochána for their acts of kindness and support. John's months mind will be offered in the Church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar on Sunday, July 22 at 10.30 o'clock
