Here we would like to say a special thank you to all those who have contributed to Bláthnaid’s Fund and by so keeping her memory alive bright and sparkly.
To the Staff of St John’s Ward in Crumlin especially our friend Denis O‘Shea, the staff of Sligo General, the Medicentre and the entire Homecare team in particular Anne Marie.
To all of Blathnaid’s friends that stuck with her throughout her illness, no mean feat
as she was unable to keep up with their pace so much of the time but with special thanks to Genevieve and her dear friend Amy Broder.
To our friends and neighbours without whom daily life would not have been possible. Thanks and love to Ruth, her personal dietician, and the entire Broder family, the Hegartys and the Fitzgeralds.
We would also like to make special mention of our friends in America who have done so much for us all, Fiona McGowan and Gerry Kane who raised funds for Blathnaid to fulfil her dream of swimming with the dolphins in Florida, which sadly was not to be but the funds will go to her Memorial Trust Fund.
To the staff at our shop who enabled John to spend much needed time with our child.
To Sr Mairead, Sr Sarah and all their colleagues at the Ursuline Convent and Scoil Ursula and a special thanks to Maisie McNabola.
Finally, to all of you, you know who you are, too many to mention that made a difference through this very difficult time. Our deepest gratitude.
