Acknowledgement Notice;

The family of the late Aidan Murray wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love and support shown to us during Aidan’s illness and during our recent sad bereavement.

Our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, neighbours and extended family circle for their kindness in visiting Aidan in hospital, calling in at our house, sending Mass cards, letters and messages of sympathy and to all those from near and far who attended the funeral.

Our sincere thanks to Fr Patrick Devlin for celebrating a beautiful mass and to Cara McCann for the beautiful music. A special word of thanks to the Medical teams who cared for Aidan over the past few months especially the staff in the CICU, RVH,, who provided outstanding care to Aidan, and support to us during his illness.

Thanks also to the staff in All Saints College and the members of Families with Ups and Downs, for their constant support and prayers and to Banh Boy for their kindness and generosity. Thanks to Christopher and the staff in Mallon Brothers for the professional and dignified way in which they carried out the funeral arrangements.

As it would be impossible to thank individually all those whose kindness has brought such comfort to us, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all with our sincere thanks.

Aidan’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday,, 9th March at 11.30 in St Joseph’s church, Hannahstown.

“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun”.

May Aidan Rest In Peace
