KELLY, margaret

KELLY (Margaret) (Artane, Dublin) (Died June 3, 2009) - Margaret's children Peter, John, Maria and Gerard, her grandchildren Linda and Peter, her daughter-in-law Mary and her sister-in-law Bridget express sincere thanks to all those who provided such wonderful care and support to her and us during her final illness and death. We thank everybody who attended her funeral, sent Mass Cards, wrote to us and sympathised with us. We wish to thank all the staff at the Mater Private Hospital who cared for Mam in her final weeks of life. In particular we thank Mr. Martin O'Donohoe and Dr. Richard Firth for their care over many years. We are most grateful to her general practitioner, Dr. Aidan Hampson, who looked after her and us so well for so long that he was not only her doctor but a respected friend. Words cannot express our gratitude to our friend Dr. Roisin MacSullivan for her care, kindness and friendship. We thank the many priests who visited Mam in hospital and attended her removal or concelebrated her funeral Mass. Special thanks are due to Frs. Donal Byrne O.Carm., Padraig O'Cochlain, John Cunningham, Liam Rooney SCJ, Eugene Taffee, Pat Carroll and Gerard Deighan. We thank our friends Noelle and Paul Forde for their special help and support in the days following Mam's death. We thank the many neighbours and friends who were a constant support to Mam and us, in particular, Annie O'Shaughnessy, Francis Butler and Bernie Corry. Mass will be offered for your welfare and that of your families. We think of you all on this the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a day that was special in our parents' lives not only because of their devotion to Our Lady but also as the anniversary of their engagement in 1947.
