(Colm Campbell, Donegal Town & formerly The Bridge Bar, Ardara)
We, the family of the late Colm Campbell, wish to offer our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to all who supported us and stood by us during our recent sad loss. Your kindness, your presence, and your prayers have meant more to us than we can ever say.
Thank you to everyone who came to the wake and funeral, to Dad’s neighbours in Ardeskin Heights, his golfing friends, Bank of Ireland staff and members of CLG Ard an Rátha, all who lined the road on his final journey back to Ardara. Your respect and solidarity brought us great comfort.
We appreciate all the many messages of condolence, phone calls, Mass cards, sympathy cards, and all the Masses offered. To Dad’s friends and neighbours who showed such generosity and thoughtfulness, we will be forever grateful.
Our thanks also to all who helped at the wake and funeral, to those who prepared food or brought refreshments, and to the Harbour Restaurant for their support. A heartfelt word of thanks to Shovlin Undertakers for the gentle and dignified way they handled the arrangements, and to the grave diggers.
We offer special thanks to Fr. Aodhán Cannon for his guidance and compassion in preparing Dad’s funeral Mass, and to Herta Kelly for the beautiful singing.
We are deeply grateful to Millrow Family Practice Donegal Town, the Ambulance Service and to the staff of Sligo University Hospital for the care and kindness shown to Dad in his final days.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a sincere expression of our gratitude to all who helped us in any way.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
