The family of the late James Fay wish to extend our most sincere thanks to all who sympathised and offered their support during our recent bereavement.

Thanks to our relatives, friends, neighbours and everyone who helped in so many ways. To all those who called to the house, telephoned, attended the removal and funeral, we are deeply grateful. We also thank everyone who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards and flowers.

A sincere thanks to Garry Gavigan and all the staff at Glenashling Nursing Home for their attentive care of Jim, especially during his last days.

Thanks to Aidan Heffernan and the staff of Heffernan's Funeral Directors for their professionalism and consideration, and the dignified manner with which they carried out the funeral arrangements.

Thanks to Fr. Sean Henry and Fr. Mark Mohan, who celebrated the funeral ceremonies, for their kindness. Thanks to Matt Gilsenan who sang at the funeral Mass, and to the readers who participated in the ceremony. Thanks to the gravediggers who prepared Jim's final resting place. A special word of thanks to the GAA members of Trim and Kiltale who provided a guard of honour.

Thanks to the management and staff at the Castle Arch Hotel, Trim for their professionalism and courtesy.
