Colton, Patrick, (Dungannon) The family of the late John Patrick Colton (Johnny) wish to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all those who sympathised, prayed for and supported us through our recent sad bereavement.
Our thanks to those who called to the house, sent Mass or Sympathy cards or flower tributes. Thanks to those who joined us at the Mass or via the webcam, and those who left kind messages via social media. Sincere thanks to our relatives, friends and neighbours who helped out in so many ways, to help us grieve as a family.
A special word of thanks to Father Eamonn McCamley for carrying out the Requiem Mass and visiting our family during the wake. We convey our appreciation to everyone who assisted with the Mass, especially our musician Caoimhe Loughran who provided the beautiful music.
Thank you to Paudge Quinn Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to the grave diggers for preparing Johnny’s final resting place.
Thanks to Newell Stores Dungannon for supplying sandwiches during the wake and to the Gables Restaurant for providing lunch after the funeral service. Thanks to Bernadette Kelly for providing a pot of stew which was very welcome and greatly appreciated.
We would also like to thank Dr McKenna and Dr Mitchell and staff at Coalisland Health Centre and the Staff of Medicare Dungannon who attended to his medical and medication needs and also to the First Responders and Paramedics who attended so promptly and professionally.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a gesture of our family’s deepest gratitude.
Johnny’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Patrick’s Church, Dungannon on Saturday August 27 at 6.15pm
“Our Lady pray for him”.
