Acknowledgement - Months Mind Mass
JJ Lafferty, Corvish, Carndonagh.
We, the family of the late JJ Lafferty, would like to express our most heartfelt thanks and appreciation
for the outpouring of love, support, and kindness shown to us during our recent bereavement.
We are deeply grateful to our extended family, friends, neighbours, and the wider community for the
compassion, prayers, and help we received in the weeks before JJ's passing and in the days that
followed. Your visits to our home, thoughtful gestures, kind words, sympathy cards and presence at
JJ's funeral mass brought us great comfort during a very difficult time.
Our sincere thanks to Fr. Coyle and Fr. Con Mc Laughlin for their prayers, support, and the beautiful
funeral mass they celebrated in JJ's memory.
A special word of thanks to those who participated in the mass and to those who provided the beautiful and uplifting music, it added so much to the service and reflected JJ's spirit perfectly.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Eamonn McLaughlin Funeral Director for his
professionalism, gentleness, and genuine care. Eamonn, your compassionate guidance, attention to
detail, and the warmth you showed to each of us went far beyond your duty. Your kindness and respect in every aspect of the arrangements brought us great comfort, and we will always be thankful for the dignity with which you cared for JJ and our family.
We are also deeply thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff at St. James's Hospital, Dublin, University Hospital Galway, and Letterkenny University Hospital, as well as Dr. Falls and Dr. Downey, for the exceptional care, compassion, and respect shown to JJ throughout his illness.
To JJ's many friends - your constant presence, friendship, and support meant the world to him and to
us. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
Our heartfelt thanks to Carndonagh GAA Club and the wider GAA community, for their incredible support during JJ's illness, their help and kindness at the wake, and for the beautiful and moving tribute organised on the morning of his funeral - a memory we will always treasure.
We are also very grateful to An Garda Siochana for their assistance on the day of the funeral.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgment as a token of
our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
JJ was a remarkable man - a devoted husband, a wonderful father, a loving son, and a gentle soul
whose quiet strength, humility, and kindness touched the lives of all who knew him. He never sought
attention or praise, but his love and care spoke louder than words ever could.
With heartfelt thanks,
Nuala, Conor, Oran, Cian, and the Lafferty Family
JJ's Month's Mind Mass will take place on
Sunday 16th November at 9:00 am in the Sacred Heart Church Carndonagh.
