Acknowledgement & First Anniversary 

As we lovingly remember Martin on his first anniversary, we, his family would like to thank extended family, neighbours and friends who have supported us over the last 12 months as we come to terms with the passing of our beloved Martin. We would like to thank everyone who
telephoned and called to the house. We acknowledge the many lovely tributes and messages of condolence placed on RIP.ie. We remember with gratitude those who stood in respectful silence on route as Martin’s cortege travelled from home to the church, those who attended
the funeral services and sent Mass cards and letters of sympathy. We are also very grateful to those who would have liked to attend but could not and remembered us in their thoughts and prayers.
 
Thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of Cork University Hospital who looked after Martin with such care during his time there. A very special thank you to all the staff at COPE Mallow and to Dr Bertie Daly and the staff of Áth Trasna Medical Centre, Newmarket for the
incredible commitment, kindness, compassion and care shown to Martin during his life and especially in his final weeks. Their combined efforts, along with the palliative care team from Marymount Hospice, allowed us to bring him home to Mallow to be with his family and friends before his passing which meant so much to us. Thank you to Frank, Mairéad and the staff of Reen’s Pharmacy, who were always so accommodating.
 
We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald for a very heartfelt and sincere funeral Mass.  Thanks to Fr Anthony Sheehan, Mallow, for administering the last rites to Martin and concelebrating the funeral Mass with Canon John. Thanks to Sharon Lane for her help and
guidance in planning the Mass and for the lovely Mass booklets, and to Julie Brady for her kindness and assistance.
 
Thanks to all involved in providing the beautiful music at the church: Ciara Guerin, Bláithín and Denise Kennedy, Eddie Kiely, and Martin’s niece and nephew Miriam and Tadgh. Thanks to
Marie Twomey for playing the bagpipes to lead Martin to his final resting place, and to Matt Lawlee for singing one of Martin’s favourite songs at his graveside.  

We would like to thank Davy Tarrant, Timmy Twomey and Cora O’Riordan of Tarrant’s Funeral Directors, Millstreet for their professionalism and kindness. 
 
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. 
 
Martin’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Friday 27th September at 7.30pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.

When a light is as bright as the light you shone
There’s no such thing as truly gone.
When a smile is as precious as the one you wore,
You will live in our hearts forever more.

May Martin Rest in Eternal Peace.

Brian McSweeney – Acknowledgement & First Anniversary

Brian McSweeney

CLARA, RINGMEEN, COBH AND LATE OF MINOR ROW, MILLSTREET

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Died November 30th 2022

As we lovingly remember Brian on his First Anniversary, his wife Liz and sons Paul, David and Kevin and extended family wish to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all those who offered us such enormous support and love on our untimely and heartbreaking loss.

We offer our sincere gratitude to all those who phoned, sent messages, called to our home, sent mass cards, floral tributes and letters of support expressing their kind words about Brian.

We offer a sincere míle buíochas to the enormous amount of people who shared such lovely heartfelt messages on Rip.ie and other social media platforms about Brian. We treasure each and every one of these tributes as they reiterated what we as a family already knew and loved about him – that he was an extremely loyal and devoted friend to so many, a quiet, unassuming, humble and compassionate man, a man of absolute honour, integrity and decency. He had an amazing ability to connect with everyone he met in a uniquely personal way.  This was acknowledged in the many stories and messages which were shared with us and it is of immense comfort to know how highly so many people cherished their own personal connection with Brian.    

To everyone who attended the funeral ceremonies, and those who travelled long distances to be with us in our time of immense sorrow, we will be forever grateful for your support and kindness. To the members of both Cobh and Millstreet GAA clubs who provided Brian with such a respectful guard of honour, this is a poignant memory which will stay with us forever. We will also be eternally grateful to so many of his friends and former neighbours from Millstreet who travelled to Cobh to be with us in bidding a final farewell to their very own Kiddo. It was humbling to witness how highly regarded Brian was in his native home town.

A very special thanks to both Fr Aquin Casey and Brian’s lifelong friend Fr. Jim Kenneally for their support, sensitivity and compassion as they guided us in the beautiful celebration of Brian’s funeral mass.  We are immensely grateful to Fr Jim for capturing the essence of Brian’s life so movingly in his very personal and heartfelt homily. It was such a beautiful tribute to him.

We offer our deep appreciation also to Clair Butler who provided us with the joy of her beautiful singing voice, and to Dominic Finn for his accompaniment on the organ.

To James, Morgan and Sam of Cahill’s Funeral Directors for their professionalism, guidance, sensitivity, and for treating both Brian, and us his family, with such gentleness. We are immensely grateful to each one of you.

To the various staff members of the CUH, the Mercy Hospital and the Lee Clinic who helped care for Brian at various stages, we thank you all most sincerely.

Finally, to our group of very special close friends who have taken us into their hearts and lives during the past year, and have enveloped us with so much love and support, a mere ‘thank you’ seems so inadequate. You have propped us up, and helped us to put one foot in front of the other as we tried to navigate our way through each painful day since Brian was taken from us – by taking one step at a time. Our gratitude to each one of you knows no bounds. Brian would have been so proud to call each one of you a true friend.

As it would be impossible to detail all the varied ways so many people have helped us, not just at the time, but during this past year, please know your immense kindnesses will be forever remembered.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Brian’s First Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Thursday 30th November in St. Patrick’s Church Millstreet at 7.30pm and also on Saturday 2nd December in St Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh at 6pm.

Níl sa bhás ach múchadh na coinnle ag breacadh an lae.
