Rea, Catherine Matilda (Kathleen) 4th July 2024
The family of the late Kathleen Rea wish to express their sincere gratitude to all those who sympathised with them during their recent bereavement. To those who called at the family home, telephoned, sent cards and messages, brought gifts, gave donations, attended the funeral or helped in any way. We cannot express adequately our appreciation to the Doctors and staff of Rasharkin Health Centre, Laurel House – under the care of Dr Windrum, Causeway Hospital – with special mention to Dr Collins and Dalriada Hospital for their exemplary medical attention. To the community care team, who Mum loved to see everyday and Patrick Kennedy and his staff at Kennedy’s Pharmacy, we are indebted. Special thanks to Revs. John Greer and Andrew Stewart for their pastoral visits and to Revs. David Linden and John Greer for conducting the funeral services in the family home, at the Church and graveside. To Iris’ Farmhouse Catering and the ladies of Ballymena Free Presbyterian Church for providing and serving the tea after the funeral. Finally to James Henry and Son Funeral Directors for their attention carrying out the funeral arrangements. We cannot possibly thank everyone individually so trust this acknowledgment will be accepted by all as a token of our gratitude. Rea Family, Crushybracken.
