Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, Unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Too good in life to be forgotten in death.

When Margaret died, the warm and genuine sympathy and support received from so many friends was a great consolation and comfort to us all. This helped us immensely through a very sad time.

Margaret’s Month's Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 11th October at 10am in St Mary’s Church, Drumagarner, Kilrea.
May she rest in peace.

Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I’m really still there inside your mind

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, no longer old
I’m in that place that’s filled with love
Known to you all, as “up above”

Loved and remembered always by his family; Marie, Martin, Paul, Declan, Angela, Sharon, Malachy, Barry and the entire family circle.

Patricia, Donal, Sean, Andrew, Eamon and the entire family circle would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all who offered condolences and support following the recent bereavement of our mother Mary R.I.P.

A special word of thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of Kilrea Health Centre especially Dr Grainne McGurk for her unfailing care and attention given to our mother. Thanks to Ann’s Carers, all the private carers, the staff of Coleraine Hospital and Martin and the staff at Shields Pharmacy for their professionalism, kindness, and support to our mother during her illness. We truly appreciate all the care and support shown during this time.

The family wish to especially give thanks to all the kind relatives, friends, neighbours and members of the wider community who helped them during this difficult time. Thanks to all those who messaged, sent cards, those who attended the removal to the church, to Crossroads Primary School for their guard of honour and to those who attended the funeral and burial, we are truly humbled and grateful.

We extend our sincere thanks to Fr Chris McDermott for his spiritual support, guidance and for attending to her spiritual needs and for celebrating the Requiem Mass and graveside service.

Thanks to The Gribbin Girls for the beautiful music, the church sacristans for preparing the church, Wishy Draine for preparing our mother’s final resting place and the Marian Hall Committee for providing the refreshments after the burial in the parish hall.

Finally, the family would like to acknowledge their gratitude to Dempsey Funeral Directors, Kilrea particularly Brian and Mairead for the professionalism, sensitivity, and support in arranging and conducting the funeral, and for their continued support.
shown to the family throughout their sad bereavement and funeral planning.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our appreciation. The holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

The Month’s Mind Mass for our mother Mary will be celebrated on Saturday 26th September at 7pm in St Annes Oratory, Kilrea.
