We, the family of the late Sally Tomany wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the relatives, friends and neighbours who supported us us during our recent bereavement. Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend the wake and funeral - especially those who travelled long distances - so close to and on Christmas Day. Thank you to everyone who sent messages, brought and sent Mass and sympathy cards or floral tributes and to those who, without even being asked, provided food for and helped out at the wake.
We are also grateful to Dr Giby and his staff at Meigh Surgery for their care and attention to Sally over recent years and to Ambulance Control and the paramedics who assisted on the morning of her death. Thank you also to McCreesh & Sons Funeral Directors for their professionalism and empathy throughout. Thanks to Kevin Rice for providing floodlighting to facilitate access to the wake house and to Dromintee GFC for the loan of their facilities. We acknowledge also the pastoral support provided by both Deacon George Kingsnorth and Fr Sรฉamus White during the wake and thank Fr Sรฉamus for celebrating such a personal Requiem Mass. Thank you also to Ciarรกn and Catrรญona for providing the music at the funeral and to anyone who helped out in any way.
Sally's month's mind Mass will be celebrated on Saturday 31 January at 6pm in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Jonesborough.
