The sons, Robert and Michael and family circle of the late Robert (Bob) Howard. R.I.P wish to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to all who sympathised with them on their recent bereavement.

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

A special word of thanks to the emergency services for their help and care when attending the house at the time of Peterโ€™s death.
Sincere thanks to Fr Rooney P.P. of Portglenone for his support and use of the chapel, Fr Pat Oโ€™Hagan P.P. of Bellaghy for his spiritual support, guidance and prayers at the time of Peterโ€™s death and for celebrating a fitting Requiem Mass for his life, and to Fr Luke McWilliams P.P of Rasharkin for his committal prayers at Peterโ€™s resting place.

The family wish to thank all the kind relatives, friends and neighbours who called at the house and members of the wider community who helped them during this difficult time especially those who helped them set up for the wake, helped with car parking and serving refreshments at the home, those who messaged, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, gave donations and to those who gathered along the route to the Church and attended the funeral, we are truly grateful. They would also like to thank all of Peterโ€™s close friends for their presence and support at such a difficult time for them.

Thanks to Michelle and Sean Conaghan for the beautiful music, the sacristan John Cushnahan, and to those who helped steward the traffic at the Church and along the route of the funeral, to Rasharkin parish for the use of the hall, to Sean McLaughlin for providing the refreshments after the funeral and to Wishy Drain who prepared the grave.

Finally sincere thanks to Dempsey Funeral Directors for the dignified professional and compassionate manner in which they carried out all aspects of the funeral arrangements. Heartful thanks to Mairead who was a constant support for Una during this difficult time.

The Holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all. The months mind Mass for Peter will be celebrated on Sunday 3rd May 2026 at 11am in St Maryโ€™s Church, Rasharkin.

Loved and remembered always by her parents, Tony and Mary, her brothers, Cathaoir, Caolan, and Connrad, and her sisters, Kirsty, Keeva, and Kayley.
Granddaughter of the late Seamus and Mary Darragh (Kilrea).
Enfolded in the arms of God.

Remembering Our Baby Daughter, Kaleva
You are within usโ€”
in every heartbeat,
in every thoughtโ€”
forever part of who we are.
The days we had with you
were full of love,
and we hold them
in our hearts always.
In laughter unheard,
in stories untold,
in the quiet of ordinary days,
you are there.
We imagine the life
you might have knownโ€”
simple moments with your siblings,
the everyday joys
we longed to share.
Surrounded by love
that knows no end,
threaded through our hearts,
you remainโ€”
cherished, embraced,
not gone from us,
but waiting before us.

The family of the late Priscilla Oโ€™Connor R.I.P. would like to acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy shown to us following our recent bereavement.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to the many families, friends, neighbours and well-wishers who visited her home, sent mass cards, sympathy cards, left food, sent messages, or letters or who helped in any way. With extended gratitude to any and all who personally attended the Funeral Mass, their time and empathy was deeply felt and appreciated.
A special thanks to Fr Luke McWilliams who provided spiritual support to both Priscilla, and to her family, in his tribute to her in his homily, eulogy and in his organisation of the Mass.
We thank the staff of Rasharkin Health Centre, McCloyโ€™s Chemist, Kilrea, the hard working staff of Causeway Hospital, Coleraine, the team of nurses that visited and personally attended to her health needs, and through their efforts she was able to celebrate her 93rd birthday.
We extend our gratitude to Dempsey Funeral Directors for their unerring professional manner, skill and support during both the wake and Funeral Mass. Your kindness and empathy meant a great deal to us all.
A particular thanks to the Brennan and Mooney families who provided a car park and taxi service to ferry wake goers to and from the house, with particular recognition for anyone who dedicated their time and effort to transporting people up and down the lane or parking cars.
We are sincerely thankful to Wishy Drain who prepared Priscillaโ€™s resting place, the musicians, who performed beautifully during the Mass, to Henry Quinn for his liturgical care as Sacristan, and to Arbutus Catering Company for their refreshments after the funeral.
Please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our deepest appreciation to all.
