GALLAGHER, Anne (née Balfe), Hazelwood, Galway, called by God on the Lord's birthday, Christmas Day. Peter, Joseph, Lizanne and Ronan and Anne's extended family would like to say how deeply grateful we are to those who attended our house and the funeral services and who sympathised with us and helped us since Anne's passing. To Bob and Liz for being there always. To Dr Macon Keane and his team for their gentle care during the years of Anne's illness; to Dr Dympna Waldron and the Palliative Care Team for their special gifts; to the nurses and staff of St Patricks and St Nicholas Wards, UCHG, for the love they showed Anne during her final three months; to the oncology staff in the Galway Clinic who were so kind to Anne; to Dr Donal Curtis for his years of friendship and support, we can never adequately express our gratitude.
