The family of the late Mark Jackson would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all relatives, friends and neighbours for their kindness and valued support during their recent sad bereavement.

We are deeply grateful for the many messages of sympathy, cards, those who brought food and donations received, as well as those who attended the funeral.

Our sincere thanks to Alan Hanna, Philip, Daniel & Aaron Jackson for their help and to Blairs International Transport for their comforting words and to those who brought lorries to lead the funeral. Also the PSNI Downpatrick for traffic management.

We wish to express our appreciation to the Rev. Mark Spratt who conducted a beautiful service celebrating Mark’s life and to Christine McCabe for the catering.

Thank you to Norman McBriar & Son Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which they carried out the funeral arrangements at such a difficult time for the family.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope this acknowledgement will express our sincere appreciation and gratitude.
