**𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗗𝘂𝗳𝗳𝘆**

𝗗𝘂𝗳𝗳𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮. The sons and grandchildren of the late Patricia Duffy (née Hollywood), Newtownhamilton, wish to thank all those who sympathised with them in their recent bereavement.

Thanks to all those who paid their respects at Patricia’s late home, sent Mass and sympathy cards, and attended the funeral.

Our sincere thanks to Father Kevin McElhennon and Canon Michael Toner for celebrating the Requiem Mass and for their support and compassion at this difficult time. To Father Kevin for his heartfelt homily and to Canon Toner for his many visits whilst Patricia was
unwell at home and in hospital. We are also thankful to Dearbhla Nixon for the beautiful music throughout the Requiem Mass.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Thomas Moley and the team of dedicated carers for looking after Patricia with dignity, respect and compassion at her home over the last number of years. Additional sincere thanks to Dr. Mc Cormack and the nursing staff on Ward Ramone 3, Craigavon Hospital for their kindness and care during Patricia’s recent hospital admission. Thanks also to the district nurses, doctors, allied health professionals and social services at Newtownhamilton Health Centre, in addition to the community palliative care nurses and Marie Curie staff, for their care. Patricia always wanted to remain in her own home—without your support, that would have been impossible.

Thank you to our wonderful friends and neighbours for your support and help throughout the wake and funeral, and especially to the Rushe, Hollywood and Lennon families who quietly
organised so much on our behalf.

Finally, we would like to thank Murray Funeral Directors for their kindness and professionalism in handling the funeral arrangements.

It would be impossible to thank everyone individually. We hope this acknowledgment will be accepted as a token of our sincere gratitude.
