As we lovingly remember Maura on the first anniversary of her death, Colette, Noel, and the family want to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation for the kind expressions of sympathy and support we have received.

We wish to express our unending gratitude to her other family in Our Lady’s Ward Sacred Heart Hospital Roscommon. There are no words that can ever express the care, love and friendship that Maura received during her many years among you. A special thank you to Dr Robertson, alongside the nurses and carers who made Maura’s final days extremely comfortable. There are too many of you to thank individually but we will always remember you and are forever grateful.

We wish to express our appreciation for all those who attended the house, Funeral Home, Funeral Mass, and Burial. A special thanks to those who travelled long and short distances, sent mass cards, messages, floral tributes and online condolences. Sincere thank you to Fr Sean Beirne, Chaplain in the Sacred Heart Hospital for your prayers and comfort you gave to Maura not only in her final days but throughout her time in Roscommon. Thank you also to Fr. Evaristus Ndeke for your kindness, your support and for celebrating her Funeral Mass, To our Sacristan, Hugh for preparing the church, all the family members who participated at Mass and to the Kilglass Folk Group for the wonderful music at the Funeral Mass, thank you.

Thanks also to Barry and Angela (Tighes Centra) and Coxe’s Steakhouse, Dromod, for providing food and refreshments over the days of the Funeral.

Thanks to Tommy Cox, Undertaker, for his professionalism and sensitivity; Pat McHugh Strokestown for the use of the Funeral Home and to the grave diggers in Kilmore Cemetery who prepared so beautifully Maura’s final resting place.

To Kilglass Gaels GAA for the guard of honour outside the church, a very touching tribute for a lady who loved her Gaelic games, thank you.

We would like to thank our friends, relatives and neighbours who have continued to show tremendous kindness and support this last year.

Since it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our heartfelt gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Time slips by, life goes on but from our hearts you will never be gone.

Maura’s First Anniversary Mass will be held in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Rooskey on Sunday 25th June at 11.30am.

On this being the first anniversary of Ronan’s passing, a year in which we lost a son, a brother, a dad to Caitlin and a much-loved partner to Emma. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks, gratitude and appreciation to the massive support that was extended to us from the day our lives were shattered from the loss of Ronan.

On behalf of the McDermott/Cox family we are forever thankful to our extended families, friends and the wider community who eased our pain by their huge generosity, sympathy, support, and love that was shown to us. Thanks to everyone who offered their sympathy through Mass cards, enrolments and kind condolences on R.I.P. and also called to our homes we are eternally grateful.

The emergency services and Gardaí were very quick to respond to our assistance, we thank them for doing their duty in a very mannerly and professional way.

A special word of thanks to Tom and Pauline Crosby along with Smyth’s Undertakers and Sheppard’s Funeral Associates for organising Ronan’s final days at home with us to his final place of rest.

To Ronan’s and our friends, we want to thank you for preparing Ronan’s final resting place which was carried out in a professional and humourous way.

A lot of planning went into traffic management on both days of those final days we thank all involved for ensuring that people got to pay their final respects to Ronan at our home, this was done in a very safe and organised way. We would like to express our appreciation to all Ronan’s friends and family who travelled long distances from Australia, Germany, Edinburgh and England.

To Lough Ree Sub Aqua for all the kindness and support that they gave us as Ronan was a dedicated member.

Ronan had wonderful friends from school, college and footballing days you are all a credit to those around you. Our sleepless nights were made easier from the stories told and wonderful memories shared into the early hours of the mornings. We thank you for the memories.

To Ronan’s work colleagues in Eir our words can never thank you enough for the way you honoured Ronan. The tributes, Guard of honour and the huge turnout from all over the country, we are forever thankful and grateful to all of you. Also, a special word of thanks to Eir management and to Fergal for their support and care shown to Ronan for those years he worked with you. We would like to thank our employers and work colleagues, Westward Scania, Roscommon County Council, Steris Galway and ex work colleagues in Bord Na Mona for your kindness, and support.

A special thank you to Fr. Dan Udofia, Fr. Paul Casey and Fr. Christopher Edebianga for their caring support and for making Ronan’s Funeral Mass as pain free as possible with inspiring prayer and words of comfort that expressed how Ronan’s condition had taken him away from us so suddenly. May God bless you in your future works and endeavours.

We were grateful to Fr. John McManus long-time family friend for coming to our home on the evening that Ronan’s remains came home his words of comfort and prayer gave us strength that evening and over the coming days to carry on. Thank you to Clodagh Compton, whose music and singing in the Church and at the graveside, which was a sad and difficult time for us, was very uplifting and memorable.

CULLEN Barbara

4 Lough Road, Roscommon Town

Who died on the 25th of June 2015 (8th Anniversary)

Though we cannot see you with outward eyes, We know our soul’s gaze is upon your face, Smiling back at us from within everything To which we bring our best refinement.

Let us not look for you only in memory, Where we would grow lonely without you. You would want us to find you in presence, Beside us when beauty brightens, When kindness glows And music echoes eternal tones.

When orchids brighten the earth, Darkest winter has turned to spring; May this dark grief flower with hope In every heart that loves you.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.

To serve the call of courage and love Until we see your beautiful face again In that land where there is no more separation, Where all tears will be wiped from our mind, And where we will never lose you again.

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain. but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.

Birthday Remembrance

ENNIS JOYCE Barbara

Formerly of Carrarmore, Connemara, Co. Galway and Co. Roscommon

Remembering Barbara on her birthday 23rd June

Always a smile, instead of a frown. Always a hand when one was down. Always true, thoughtful and kind, wonderful memories you left behind. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Lovingly remembered by her partner Kevin Casey.

When June comes around each year we feel more certain you are near. This was the time you went away but from our hearts you’ll never stray. Fond memories are all we have to share until we meet again.

Somewhere in God’s care, you rest above. In our hearts you rest with love. You always had a smile to share, a laugh, a joke and time to care. A kindly nature, warm and true. Many lovely memories we have of you.

Always in our thoughts and prayers, Peg, Tara and Mark; Brendan and Alice; Cáit, Conor, Éabha and Rian.

~~~~~ My dear Brother now that you are gone you’re no longer here to share the bond we had together, a bond of love and care. Yet, somehow something tells me you are watching over me now that from worldly cares you are finally free. Ever since you went away life has never been the same, yet, it comforts me to know that one day we’ll meet again. Loved & remembered always by your twin brother Andy.

~~~~~

Life can never stay the same no matter how we try. Our hands can never stop the clock of life from ticking by. But love remains, unchanging in the care of sorrowing hearts. For as the love of life is stilled, the love of memory starts.

Always remembered by Marion, Michael, Niamh and Alan, Paul, Brenda, Caoimhe and Ruairí.
