We the family of the late Martin McCaul RIP, wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks and appreciation to everyone who sympathised with us during our recent sad bereavement.

We would like to thank our family, friends and neighbours for their support and prayers, sent mass and sympathy cards, messages of condolences, attended the wake and Funeral mass. Thank you to all who brought and sent food to the wake house and those who helped with refreshments.

A very sincere thanks to Fr.Seamus White for the beautiful Requiem mass and kind words. We would like to thank Sharon Larkin who provided the beautiful music in the chapel.

We gratefully thank all staff in the Mandeville Unit and the Enable care team who called with daddy at home. We would also like to thank the staff of Clanrye Medical Centre.

We wish to thank John and staff from Joe’s Cafe Forkhill who provided the refreshments after the funeral mass. Also to the girls who kindly served those who attended.

Thank you to Dromintee Football club who provided us with the venue and to the committee members who helped steward on the road at the time of the wake.

Finally, a very special thanks to Sean and Michael of McCreesh and Sons Funeral Directors for their support, guidance and dignified manner in which they conducted the wake and funeral arrangements.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope this acknowledgment will be accepted as a token of our appreciation and gratitude for all who supported our family in any way, we will be forever grateful.

NEVER FORGOTTEN

"You'll never be forgotten, that simply cannot be.
As long as I am living I'll carry you with me.
Safely tucked within my heart Your light will always shine;
A glowing ember never stilled, Throughout the end of time.
No matter what the future brings, Or what may lie ahead,
I know that you will walk with me
Along the path I tread.
So rest my angel, be at peace And let your soul fly free.
One day I'll join your glorious flight
For all eternity."

Damian is sadly miss and fondly remembered by his entire circle of family and friends.
