Veronica (Vera) O’Brien (11 McNeely Villas, Letterkenny)
April 6, 1927 – March 5, 2016.
We, the family of the late Vera O’Brien, gratefully acknowledge and express our heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us during our recent bereavement.
Thank you to all who attended the removal from the Eternal Light Chapel of Rest, wake and funeral and all who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards and donations in lieu of flowers to Medical 3, Letterkenny University Hospital.
We offer a special word of thanks to family members who travelled long distances and to all of our kind relatives, friends and neighbours who helped in so many ways.
Thanks to all our relatives, friends, neighbours and local business people who brought gifts of food and refreshments to the house, also everybody who served the food.
A special thank you to all the staff in Medical 3 for the care they gave to ‘mammy’ and also her home care staff from the HSE and Bluebird.
A special word of thanks to Fr Eamon Kelly, for his caring support and as celebrant of mum’s Requiem Mass, and to Fr Philip Kemmy and Fr Eamon McLaughlin who said prayers at the family home during the wake.
Our sincere thanks to all family members who participated in the funeral mass, to Vera’s nephews Robert, Kevin and Johnny Haughey for providing the eloquent and fitting musical tributes and hymns.
We would like to express our deepest and most sincere thanks to O’Donnell Funeral Directors, Seamus, Joe and Geraldine for their exceptional professional and dignified manner in which the wake and funeral arrangements were carried out.
We also wish to thank An Garda Síochana for their traffic management on the morning of the funeral.
Also, thank you to the gravedigger who prepared the grave at Lack Cemetery.
It would be just impossible to acknowledge everyone on an individual basis such was the volume of support we received, but it made those difficult days for the family more tolerable.
We were all so proud and privileged to have had our mum and granny for almost 89 years and we will miss her sorely from our lives, but we take comfort from the lovely memories we shared with her.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone, please take this acknowledgment as a token or our sincere appreciation. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
The O’Brien family, Letterkenny, North Carolina, Derry and Dublin.
The Memorial Mass will take place at 10 a.m on Saturday, May 7 in St Eunan’s Cathedral, Letterkenny.
