MURPHY (Michele) (Dunree Park, Malahide Road, Dublin 5) - Michele's parents Michael & Ena, her sister Miriam and brother Brian would like to express our deepest gratitude to our relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbours who supported and sympathised with us on the very sad occasion of Michele's untimely and sudden death. A special word of thanks to Michele's friends and colleagues from St Andrews College, Booterstown for their kind support. Sincere thanks to all who called to our home, telephoned, sent Mass Cards, letters of sympathy, floral tributes and offered words of comfort or just said a silent prayer. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all the priests of St Brendan's Parish, in particular, Fr Kieran Butler for his consoling and inspiring words, also to Fr Martin O'Shea and Fr Gerry Moore from Raheny Parish, and Fr Pat Power, Dun Mhuire, Killiney and all her friends in the Raheny Folk Group, all of whom made the removal and funeral Mass so personal and special; Fr Willie Purcell, Dr Orla Sharkey and neighbours from Callan for their support at the time of her death and the undertakers Massey Brothers, Dublin and Pat and Elaine Murphy, Molloys Undertakers, Callan for their thoughtfulness and professionalism. Many thanks to the neighbours in Dunree Park who provided refreshments in the Parish hall after the removal and for everyone who supported us in so many ways: your generosity and kindness will never be forgotten. Trusting this will be accepted by all in grateful acknowledgement, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions. Michele's Month's Mind Mass will be offered on Sunday, August 6, at 1 o'clock in St Brendan's Church, Coolock Village.
