Thank You

Sincere thanks to all who assisted with the celebration of the Annual Mass for the Deceased in Esker Cemetery on Sunday last. We offer particular thanks to Fr Aidan for celebrating the Mass along with Fr Bill and Fr Ubaldo who concelebrated; To the Birney family who set everything up and dismantled the structure afterwards on the day; Mary and Damien Douglas from the Sacristy and the 23rd Lucan Scouts who assisted greatly on the day. Singing was led by Eithne & PJ and the choir whom we thank along with the Ministers of the Word, Ministers of the Eucharist and Collectors.

We thank Soundworks who provided the Sound for the Mass on the day. Terry Finnegan of AAL Sound provided the sound for many years but sadly Terry died during the year - we offer our condolences to the Finnegan family. We are most grateful for the generous contributions which amounted to 3,245.00 euro The collection covered the expenses for the day which were 2,066.55 euro and allowed for a generous sum of 1,178.45 euro to donate to St Francis Hospice, Blanchardstown.

Kind regards,
Deirdre

Of my much loved sons and brothers

Shane and Alan, together forever.
Late of Ballydowd, Lucan
Forever Young
A million times we have missed you both
A million times we have cried
If our love could have saved you
You never would have died, Shane and Alan
Some say that as time goes by
Our heartache will subside
But it's the felling in our hearts today,
Shane and Alan are the same
As the day you both died
It broke our hearts to lose you
Your parting caused such pain
But the greatest day has yet to come
When we will be together again
Loving and missing you both forever
Your heartbroken Mam, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces. Shane's girls Zoe, Keisha and Nicole. Xxxxxxx

What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Well some of that we did,
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know
Sadly missed by Michael, Jean, Michelle, Karen, Karl, Richard and extended family.
