Kathleen Murphy – Acknowledge and First Anniversary

Coolikerane, Millstreet, Cork/Newcastle West, Co Limerick

 As we lovingly remember Sister Kathleen Murphy, who passed away on the 5th of December 2021, we the family and Sisters of St. Joseph wish to acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy and gestures of kindness shown to us over the past year. We offer thanks to all those who attended her funeral, sent mass cards, online condolences, and gave donations to Milford Hospice.

A special thanks to the amazing staff of Milford Hospice, to the staff of Tarrant’s funeral directors, Davy, Declan, Cora, and the gravediggers. We would also like to thank Canon Jack for the lovely mass, the singers, musicians, Julie Brady and Sharon Lane.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our deepest gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

The anniversary mass will be held on Thursday 8th Dec at 7:30pm.
