The family of the late Chris Hoy wish to express sincere appreciation to all those who offered sympathy, support
and kindness during our recent bereavement. Thank you to all who helped at the wake including those who brought food,
who made tea and served refreshments and offered warm hospitality to all callers.
Thanks to everyone who attended the wake, sent letters, Mass cards, sympathy cards and social media messages.
A special thanks to Fr Raymond Donnelly for his spiritual support and guidance and for celebrating a beautiful
Requiem Mass.
Thanks to Mary Keenan and Sharon Kelly for providing beautiful music during Chris's Requiem Mass.
It truly was a great source of comfort to the family.
Thanks also to Jerry and Gaby the sacristans and the Eucharistic ministers, the grave diggers who prepared
Chris's resting place and the Print Factory for the Mass booklets.
Sincere thanks to Paul, Mary and Gavin Keenan, Funeral Directors, for the professionalism, kindness and guidance
throughout a very difficult time.
The family wish to especially thank Chris's group of close friends, our kind relatives, friends, neighbours and members of the wider community who helped us so much during this sad time and continue to do so.
Thanks to all who gathered along the route to the Church and attended Chris's funeral.
We are particularly grateful to the RLNI, Enniskillen Gaels and Lisbellaw FC who provided respectful guards of honour
outside the Church.
A sincere thanks to the Police Service of Northern Ireland PSNI who paid their respects along the route and assisted with traffic management.
A heartfelt thanks to the many health care personnel who were involved in Chris's care - The Palliative care team
in Omagh hospice and the community palliative care team, the community nurses, the Marie Curie nurses,
the rapid response team and the treatment room nurses - thank you all for the wonderful care and kindness
shown to Chris throughout his illness.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted as a
token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude.
Chris is dearly missed by his wife Kiah, his parents Rory & Gertie, his brothers Mark, Dan & Niall,
his sister in law Grace, his niece Niamh, nephew Finn and entire family circle.
May his gentle soul Rest In Peace
Chris's Months Mind Mass will be celebrated in St. Michael's Church, Enniskillen on Saturday 20th June at 6pm
