It was with sadness that we learned of the death of William McCallion, Turmore, Gleneely.
A quiet man who was a regular attender of Mass In Bocan.
We offer our sympathy to his sisters, Hannah and Elizabeth and his brother, Joseph; his nephews and nieces and the wider family circle as well as friends and neighbours.
We also mourn the passing of John Duffy, Aughatubrid who passed away recently.
Our deepest sympathy to his wife, Claire; his sons, Noel, Alan and Declan; his daughters Beatrice, Geraldine, Martina, and Dolores; their partners; his grandchildren, Zoe, Orla, Emer, Oisin, Cara, Aoife, Lara, Ciara, Erin and Fiadh; his great grandchildren, Eloise and Jacob; his brother Pat and his sisters Bridie Peggy and Sadie and the wider family circle.
May they rest in peace Culdaff http://www.culdaffparish.com
