Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 25 to May 2, 2015.
O'Reilly, Sean "Smiley" Clonturkin, Kingscourt Died 23rd March 2015 Sean's parents Francis and Evelyn, his brother Padraig, Padraig's fiancee Siobhan wish to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who sympathised and supported us in our recent tragic loss. We would like to thank the members of An Garda Siochana, Firebrigade and Ambulance personnel who attended the scene of the accident. Also the doctors, nurses and staff of Our Lady's Hospital Navan. We would like to thank our families for all their help and support at this difficult time. Sincere thanks to all our great neighbours and friends who brought food, served refreshments, assisted with parking at the house and all who helped in any other way. We will always be indebted to the people who visited us in our home, phoned, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards and flowers or simply shook our hands or gave us a hug. To Seans many great friends who helped us in each and every way possible and for their very fitting and moving tribute for Sean on the evening of the removal. A special word of thanks to Fr. Gerry McCormack, Fr. Quinn, Fr. Smith, Fr. Cusack, Fr. Pior, Fr. Cooney, Fr. Henry, Fr. Router, Fr. Connoughton and The Redemptorist Mission Team for your kindness and support and to Fr. Gerry for your lovely liturgy and fitting homily at the funeral Mass. Our thanks to the Folk Choir and St. Marys Brass and Reed Band for providing the lovely music and singing at the funeral Mass. Thanks to Kieran Bros. Funeral Directors for their professional and caring manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to those who prepared Seans final resting place. A special thanks to grave diggers and stewards. Thanks also to everyone who participated in the guard of honour. Also a special word of thanks to the Matt Talbot Hall community for the use of their hall and to Eugene and Edel Fox Bailieborough for their beautiful food. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually we would hope that this acknowledgement will be accepted as a token of our appreciation and heartfelt thanks. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions. Sean's Months Memory Mass will be celebrated in the Church of Immaculate Conception, Kingscourt on Sunday 26th April at 12 noon.
