Hearty, Tom.
The family of the late Tom Hearty RIP wish to express our deep appreciation for the love and support shown to us during our recent bereavement. Our heartfelt thanks to all those who sympathised with us on the loss of a much-loved husband, father, grandad and brother.
We wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to our many friends, neighbours and extended family circle and all who called to our home, brought food, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, letters and messages of condolence, floral tributes, and to all those who travelled from near and far to attend Tom’s wake and funeral. A special word of thanks to our family and friends who helped in our home during the wake. Your generosity, support and presence, meant more to us than words can express.
We are profoundly grateful to the dedicated teams of carers from Connected Health and The Trust, and to the nurses from the Newtownhamilton Clinic who looked after Tom at home with such dignity, compassion, and kindness. We will be forever grateful for the care and comfort you give to Tom and to us.
Our sincere appreciation is also extended to the Carers and Nursing staff of Avila Nursing Home Bessbrook for their excellent care, treatment and attention to Tom during his stay with them. Your support and help will never be forgotten.
We would like to extend a very sincere thanks to Rev Canon Michael Toner for his pastoral visits to Tom both at home and in Avila nursing home and for celebrating such a beautiful and meaningful requiem mass. We also thank him for visiting our home and leading prayers during the wake. All of this has brought great comfort to our family.
We are also thankful to Patricia and Jo McCrink for the lovely music and singing throughout the requiem mass. To James & Gary (Murlan House) for the beautiful flowers, and to the grave digger Andrew for the care taken in the preparation of Tom’s final resting place.
Our thanks are also extended to St Patrick’s G.F.C. for the use of their premises following the funeral, and for arranging the guards of honour who lined the final route to the chapel, and to John Murray and staff for the lovely food and warm hospitality after the funeral mass.
Finally, we wish to thank Seamus and Aisling of Murray Funeral Directors for their compassion and professionalism throughout Tom’s wake and funeral. Their guidance and support were deeply appreciated.
As it would be impossible to individually thank all those whose kindness has brought such comfort to us, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation during this difficult time.
Tom’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Friday, May 1, 2026 at 7pm at St Patricks Church Cullyhanna.
