CARD OF THANKS
“Angus Anthony MacDonaldâ€
As the family of the late Angus Anthony MacDonald, we find it extremely difficult to adequately express in words, our heartfelt appreciation for the outpouring of sympathy we have received from family, neighbors and friends. Your kindness, generosity and caring have been a great comfort to us and have made this difficult time a little easier for us. From visitation at the funeral home to the funeral service, your attendance reassured us that our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather was loved and respected by those who knew him. The contributions of food that arrived at our homes was overwhelming, both in the quantity and in the variety. The floral arrangements, memorial and monetary donations, Mass cards, expressions of sympathy, tributes on the Internet Obituary sites, phone calls and visits were comforting to a family feeling great loss. Our family wishes to express a very special thank you to Father Daniel Boudreau for a beautiful funeral service and a homily that touched us deeply. As well, the efforts of the Immaculate Conception Parish were very much appreciated, particularly the choir for the beautiful songs at the funeral, the C.W.L. for the wonderful lunch after the funeral, Adam Crosby and Jim Fogarty for assisting Father Boudreau, Elaine Haighway for her assistance; as well as, to the Men’s Club for the tribute at bingo. We would also like to say a special thank you to the McGillivray Funeral Home for the compassionate, caring assistance and patience that all of their staff demonstrated at all times. To the Royal Canadian Legion, our gratitude goes out for the impressive and touching Color Party Ceremony, the Last Post, the Honor Guard and the poppies which added something very special to the funeral service. The Legion was always near and dear to Angus’ heart and he would have been very proud of the tribute shown to him. One of his other great loves was Scottish music, represented very well by Karen MacLean on the bagpipes, to whom, we are also most thankful. We are extremely grateful that before his death, Angus received compassionate care, respectful of his dignity at all times from the entire staff at Taigh Na Mara Nursing Home and from the staff at Glace Bay Hospital, who cared for him; as well as, from Doctor Carol Boutilier, in whom Angus had and we continue to have trust and admiration. His death brought our family together in a way of which Angus would be most proud. To everyone who touched us in any way at this time, we say a great and heartfelt thank you.
Dolly MacDonald and Family, Dominion
