BLUNDEN - Bernadette (née Fitzsimons) (Rathgar) - February 1, 2026.

Jennifer, Julie, John and Ilona wish to express sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who came to the reposing and the funeral and who sent cards and messages or made calls of condolence. Your support has been greatly appreciated.

Grateful thanks to Fr. John and Fr. Philip for the lovely Mass, to Fr. Paul for his prayers at the graveside, to Siobhan for the music and to Katy Kelly for the most uplifting singing that carried us through the day. A special thank you to Neal Massey of Rom Massey & Sons for his quiet efficiency and attention to detail throughout.

Thanks also to the staff of Orwell Nursing Home in Rathgar and St James Hospital in Dublin for their exceptional care of our beloved Mum.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.

And on that cheek, and oer that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!
