Sherlock, Pat.
The family of the late Pat Sherlock, wish to express our sincere gratitude to all who sympathised with us, on the recent loss of our much-loved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
To everyone who attended the repose and funeral, especially those who travelled some distances, brought or posted beautiful Mass cards and Sympathy cards, sent messages, telephoned and called over, we are deeply grateful.
We would like to especially thank very much all our supportive neighbours and those who assisted with the arrangements. Frankie McKee who organised the laneway and yard, Pat’s nephews who helped at the house, the readers, those who took part in the offertory and participated with the carrying.
Patricia also would like to thank her work colleagues for their presence and understanding, it is very much appreciated.
Very special thanks to Rev Canon Sean O’Neill PP who visited Pat both at home and in Dunlarg and for celebrating his beautiful, personal, Requiem Mass and to Fr. Aidan McCann for administering the last rites.
Thanks to Catherine Grimley Hughes for her moving singing and instrumental, which greatly enhanced the Mass and to Dermot McCusker for the lovely music.
We would like to express deeply our appreciation to Bridget Mone, of Mone Funeral Directors, Keady, for her kindness, support and empathy and for the compassionate, dignified and personal service she provided. Many thanks to Caolan, Laura and BJ, also from Mone Funeral Directors.
Thank you to Mary B Mone and team, who provided the post burial refreshments and to the Parish for the use of the Hall.
We thank also the sacristan team at St. Patrick’s Church, Keady and the gravedigger who prepared Pat’s final resting place.
We thank especially all who cared for Pat in his later years – to Dr. Watters and the staff at The Health Centre, Enable Care Services, McKeevers Pharmacy, Daisy Hill and Craigavon Hospitals, the Southern Trust Acute Care at Home and Dementia Teams and NI Ambulance Service.
Finally, we particularly wish to express our gratitude, to the staff of Dunlarg Care Home, Keady, for looking after Pat, with such attention, care and compassion, in his last months.
At the risk of failing to mention someone, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted by all, as a sincere token of our appreciation.
