Month’s Mind Acknowledgement

MCAVOY- Hugh

We, the family of the late Hugh McAvoy, wish to express our deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us during the recent and heartbreaking loss of our much loved and adored Daddy.

We have been truly comforted by the kindness and compassion shown to us.
Perhaps you sent a card, or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers, that we saw sitting there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts we thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

A special word of thanks to our dear cousin Fr Peter McNeill , Fr McConville and Fr Fitzpatrick for the lovely mass. To Brian and Maria for the beautiful music. To the Diamonds for the food after and Annaclone GAC for their support and use of their facilities.

A special thanks to Dr Dillon and the staff of Banbridge Group Surgery for your kindness to daddy throughout the years.

Finally, we would like to thank Colm, PJ and Sean of Peter McGinn Funeral Directors for their professionalism, dignity, and kindness throughout the arrangements. Your support and kindness will never be forgotten.

It is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this as a sincere expression of our appreciation and thanks to each and every one of you for your care, generosity, and support.

Hugh’s month mind mass will be celebrated on Sunday 31st May at 11.15am in St. Colmans chapel Annaclone.

Our Lady's of Lourdes pray for him.
