J. Coady Marsh
CARD of THANKS
J. COADY MARSH
We, the family of Coady Marsh, would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support during his illness and passing on July 12, 2012. There were countless phone calls, cards and online condolences; flowers, food and memorial donations; Mass cards and enrollments; and visits at house. Coady was very appreciative of the care he received from EHS ambulance services, Glace Bay Hospital Emergency Room and 3rd Floor West staff. He was so thankful to Dr. Cadegan, the Cape Breton Palliative Care team and the Provincial Home Care Program for making things happen quickly so he could spend his final weeks at home. A special thank you to the staff at Veterans Affairs for attending to Coady’s special needs. We were so thankful to the VON RN’s and LPN’s for their crash course in Nursing 101 and for their gentleness and caring ways. Coady would tell his family “Do it like the VON does it”. We extend a huge thank you to John Thompson, his dedicated friend and chauffeur, for always being there when Coady needed him. Rita Tompkins and V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home went beyond in helping us prepare for his funeral held on July 16th. We are grateful for the many people who visited the funeral home and attended the Mass to celebrate Coady’s life. Thank you to his brother, Celebrant Fr. Anthony Marsh, SFM; and to Concelebrants Fr. Leo Boone, Fr. Ora McManus, Fr. Doug Murphy and Fr. Bill Rankin. We would also like to thank the altar servers, readers and pallbearers; and St. Ann’s Funeral Choir for their beautiful voices and music. Thanks to Fr. Anthony and Fr. McManus for the graveside prayers.
The funeral reception at the house would not have been possible without the help of Edith Simmons, Elaine and Gualbert Hanrahan, and the incredible members of St. Ann’s Funeral Reception Team. Thank you for the food, the deliveries and simply taking over the kitchen. Coady would have been so pleased. We would also like to thank Coady’s many nieces, nephews and friends who travelled from afar to be with us.
We miss him so much.
Wife, Irma; children, June, Coady, Anthony, Teresa Ann, Keith, Laura and their families; sisters Zita, Dophie, Maurina, Marie; and brothers Brother Ninian (his twin), Dr. Stewart, Fr. Anthony and Joe; nieces and nephews; and brother-in-law, Hartley Slade.
