Michael (Mickey)

Who passed away on the 23rd January 2022

As we remember the late Michael (Mickey) on the First Anniversary of his passing, we, the Connolly family wish to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the kindness, support and sympathy shown towards us at the time of our great loss.

We wish to thank everybody who visited, called, sent texts, online messages, had masses offered and sent floral tributes. Also our kind neighbours and friends who brought food and refreshments to our homes and supported us in any way.

Thanks to Fr. Louie Kitt who celebrated Michael’s Mass in St. Anselm’s Church in Tooting Bec, London - Fr. Eugene McLoughlin and Fr. Donal Morris for celebrating the Mass in the Church of the Assumption, Cremully, who, together with the hymns and music provided by Margaret and Sean Kiernan made the beginning of Michael’s final journey so memorable and to all who contributed to the celebration of Michael’s life. Our heartfelt thanks to all who attended the Removal, Funeral Mass (in London and Cremully) and Burial in Athleague Cemetery.

To Don O’Dwyer, Funeral Directors in London and to the Smyth family in Roscommon, thank you for your professionalism and also John who brought Michael home. Not forgetting the lads who prepared Michael’s resting place with such care and dignity.

Michael had a very special bond with Fuerty and Athleague GAA Clubs. This became very evident as members of both clubs carried him shoulder high to the Church and to his final resting place. The journey to Athleague Cemetery was made so memorable by the sight of the ‘Guard of Honour’ present as the funeral passed by both Fuerty and Athleague GAA grounds. A special thanks to Padraig Cuddy for his touching Graveside Oration also to musicians Joachim Dunne and Sean Kilgarriff for their graveside rendition of ‘The Fields of Athenry’.

Finally thanks to An Garda Siochana for the escort from Castlecoote to Athleague, also for the respect and dignity shown by the Garda Members on the occasion.

To those who helped in any way, your contributions helped to ease the burden of our loss.

As it would be impossible to thank everybody individually you have our deepest gratitude and the Holy Sacrifice of Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Michael’s First Anniversary Mass will be celebrated in the Church of the Assumption, Cremully, Castlecoote at 11.30am on Sunday, 29th January.
