Mickey, Martina, Paul, Dominic and the entire family circle of the late Ellen Scullion R.I.P. wish to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who sympathised with them in their recent bereavement.

The family wish to thank the kind relatives, friends, neighbours and members of the wider community for their love and support during this difficult time. Thanks to those who visited and helped at the wake, messaged, sent cards, sent donations and those who gathered along the route to the Church and attended the funeral, we are truly grateful.

A special thanks to Fr Eamon Graham P.P. and Fr Paddy Doherty for their spiritual support, guidance, pastoral care and for celebrating the Requiem Mass and to Fr Kieran Doherty for attending the house.

Thanks to Una McGill for the beautiful music; the church sacristan Tom McGill, Lavey GAC for use of their facilities and for providing refreshments after the funeral, and Gavin Toner who prepared the grave.

A special mention to Maghera Medical Centre and the staff at Antrim Area Hospital for the given to Ellen and the support to the family.

A sincere thanks to McKiernan & Sons, Funeral Directors for their professionalism, support and guidance and for conducting all the arrangements in a dignified manner in which we as a family received great comfort.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere gratitude and appreciation.

The Holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.

Ellenโ€™s months mind Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday 1st September at 7pm in St. Maryโ€™s Church, Lavey.

As we approach the monthโ€™s mind for Ernie we wish to thank the many family, friends and neighbours who showed acts of kindness at this very sad time. We greatly appreciate the gifts of food brought to the family home, the Mass cards, sympathy cards, letters and social media messages. We wish to thank all who prayed for us, in particular we wish to thank the prayer circles within the Causeway Family of Parishes.

The family wish to thank Fr Kevin McGuckien P.P. for presiding over a beautiful Requiem Mass which truly captured Ernieโ€™s personality and life, and also for his pastoral support to the family. We thank Fr Damian McCaughan for administering the last rites of the church, for his hospital visits and his kindness to the family. Special thanks is also due to Sr. Rosemary Gallagher for her visits.

We wish to thank all who helped at the Requiem Mass, Gregory the sacristan, the Welcome Team of St. Malachyโ€™s Church Anne, Peter and Roisin. John McReynolds, Michelle Burke and Anne Armstrong for participating in the liturgy and Eucharistic Minister Patricia Armstrong.

Thanks are also due to Bernard Loughrey for his musical contribution to the Mass, Ernie loved his singing. I wish to record my thanks to the staff of Causeway Coast & Glens Council in particular Sean and Jake the gravediggers and Ruth McNeill the Registrar who were so kind to me.

Thanks to all in the NI Ambulance who attended our home over the years of Ernieโ€™s illness. To the staff of Accident and Emergency who looked after Ernie so well, to the Palliative care team and the staff of MAU whose kindness will warm our hearts for a long time. We thank you all for your diligence and skill at this time.

We wish to thank all the staff of Mountsandel Surgery; the girls on reception who were always so helpful, to the treatment room nurses, the management and ancillary staff. I wish to place on record my thanks to Dr. Finlay Brown and previous incumbents, Dr. Scott Brown, Dr. Alan Rowe, Dr. Tom Turner and Dr. Gavin Chestnutt.

Thanks to Nigel Boyce Podiatrist, Geraldine McLaughlin Dietetics Service, Dr A. Murray and all at Rosebrook House for their help. The staff and delivery drivers of Hendersonโ€™s Pharmacy who were so helpful.

I wish to thank all at TV Taxis, your help, good humour and kindness when taking Ernie to his appointments made our journeys a pleasure.

We wish to thank our family Funeral Directors, McKiernan & Sons. The knowledge that Ernie was in their care gave the family great solace and peace of mind. We thank Eily, Gregory and Michael-og for facilitating the wake in their beautiful funeral home. Thank you to all who visited the funeral home. We wish to thank Fr Chris McDermott and Mrs Rosemary McCamphill for offering the prayers at the funeral home.

Thanks to all who sent donations to the charity in lieu of flowers.

Hugh, Nigel, Elizabeth and Kate and the entire family circle of the late Margaret wish to express their sincere thanks to all those who sympathised with them in their recent bereavement.

A special thanks to Very Reverend Liz FitzGerald for her spiritual support, guidance, pastoral care and for celebrating the Church Service. Thanks to the Church Sexton Derek Mooney for his help and Terence McClintock who prepared the grave.

The family wish to especially thank the kind relatives, friends, neighbours and members of the wider community who helped them during this difficult time. Thanks to those who messaged, sent cards, sent donations and those who attended the funeral, we are truly grateful.

We would also like to thank McKiernan & Sons for the professional and compassionate support through such a difficult time. Thank you for the kindness you showed our mum and us. This brought us great comfort we will always be grateful.

Please accept this as a token of our gratitude and appreciation to all.
