Eddie( Susan) O Donnell
On behalf of the O’Donnell family, his Children, Geraldine, Paul, Susan and Mark, their Partners, Andy, Muriel, Khadeen, his grand children Niamh, Órán, Rory and Shea, and his sister Susie, we would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who offered prayers, condolences, Mass cards, messages, and support following the recent passing of our beloved Dad, Eddie “Susan” O’Donnell.
We are deeply grateful for the kindness shown to us by so many during this very difficult time. To all who called, attended the wake and funeral, and sent messages of condolence, and kept Dad and our family in their thoughts and prayers, your support has meant so much to our family and has been a great comfort.
A special word of thanks to McGlynn’s Funeral Directors, Dungloe, for their care, dignity, and professionalism in guiding us through everything.
We would also like to thank Father Pat Ward and Father Nigel for the beautiful and comforting funeral Mass, and for their support, prayers and kind words of consolation.
Thanks also to Pauline and Joe Glackin for the beautiful music during Mass and for fulfilling Dad’s wishes, in particular the wonderful rendition of Panis Angelicus.
Thanks also to the piper Brian McCafferty for the music at the removal and in the graveyard. The Minstrel Boy and The Dawning of the Day were two of Dad’s favourites.
A special thank you to the Crickamore Band who formed a guard of honour as we carried Dad to his final resting place. Dad loved playing in the Band.
Thank you to all in Sharkey’s, or “Headquarters” as Dad referred to it, for your hospitality after the funeral, and to everyone at Caisleán Óir for looking after us on the day.
Sincere thanks to Rosaleen Sharkey for her kindness and care to Dad over the years and for being with him in his final hours.
Sincere thanks to Rosaleen, Gerry, Irene, Charlene, all the staff and all Dad’s friends in Patrick’s, for their friendship, good humour and kindness over the years. We know you will remember Dad whenever you play Dominoes.
We are especially grateful to the staff of Dungloe Community Hospital for the care and compassion shown to Dad during his time there.
Thank you to his carers Amanda McGlynn, Ann Green, Martina Boyle, Trish Mullens, Mary Ward, and Breege Magee, Margaret, Breda, Noreen and Alison and all the carers, for the kindness, patience, and humour they showed Dad. Your care and thoughtfulness will always be remembered and is deeply appreciated.
Dad’s month mind mass will be on Sunday the 19th July at 11am in St Mary Star of the Sea, Annagry.
May Dad’s soul rest in peace.
The O’Donnell Family
