O'SHEA, Mary

O'SHEA, Mary - died February 26, 2012. Mary's husband Colm, her children, grandchildren and sons-in-law wish to thank most sincerely those who sympathised with them in their sad loss. To all those who came to the house, attended Mary's funeral Mass, paid tributes, sent Mass cards, letters of sympathy, flowers, food and so much more, we are truly grateful. Thanks also to Fr Frank Herren who celebrated Mary's funeral Mass and to Fr Eddie Conway for coming and comforting her in her hour of need. We are forever indebted to the wonderful women who cared for Mary in so many ways in the months before her passing, including her cousin May, friend Veronica and her treasured "angels", Anne, Geraldine and Susan who tended so gently and caringly to her needs. Special thanks to "extra daughter" Michele who also minded Mary in her final days and to neighbours Vivienne and Stephanie who helped ease her passing. To our other fantastic neighbours and friends who turned out in such numbers to console and support us with both practical and emotional help, we also express our gratitude. Heartfelt appreciation also to Seán Ó Sé, Niamh Murray, Miriam Cahill and Cormuin Ó Raghallaigh for the beautiful music at Mary's Mass and to Hollypark Girls' and Boys' National Schools for the guard of honour which moved us so much. We also thank Fanagans for their great sensitivity and professionalism. With too many other people to thank individually, we must simply say how overwhelmed and comforted we have been from the immense love and kindness shown to Mary and to us during this very difficult time. We know without a doubt how special Mary was to us and to so many of you. In appreciation, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for all your intentions.
