A special word of thanks to Joanne Cooney and her staff for their help, kindness and professionalism shown to us. Thank you to all of those who formed Guards of Honour at the removal and the funeral. As it would be impossible to thank everybody individually please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our sincere and heartfelt thanks.Beautiful Memories are wonderful things,
They last till the longest day.
They never wear out,
They never get lost,
And can never be given away.
To some you may be forgotten,
To others a part of the past.
But to us who loved you and lost you,
Your memory will always last.
George's Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Saturday May 29 at 7.00pm in St James's Church, Campile, Horeswood, Co.Wexford.
