FINNAN, Thecla - On the First Anniversary of Thecla's death, her daughters, Aoife, Niamh and Dearbhaile wish to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who sympathised with us on our great loss, and to those who supported us then and through the months since. We thank our relatives, friends, Thecla's colleagues in Glasnevin Family Practice and all of Thecla's many friends and patients. Thanks to all of those who attended the removal and funeral Mass, particularly those who travelled long distances, and who offered messages of sympathy, Masses and prayers for Thecla and us. In those terrible days, we drew comfort and hope from hearing how many lives she had touched. Our special thanks to the staff of the Richmond ICU in Beaumont Hospital for their dedicated care of Thecla during her short illness, and to the staff of the Mater Hospital who continued that care in her final days. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our appreciation. Go raibh míle maith agaibh. We miss Thecla every day. She is always in our thoughts and continues to guide our way. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been offered for your intentions.

I was so sorry to hear that Thecla had died. She was my GP when I came back to Ireland and looked after me when I was very ill. She'll be missed.
