CARD OF THANKS
We, the family of the late Peggy French Burt Brophy, offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to all that extended their support to us during the illness of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and sister. We are particularly thankful to Chris Robertson, Alli, Kim and Pat from Home Instead and the VON who gave Mom comfort in her home at her time of need. You will never know how grateful we are for what you have done. Thank you to all those who spent time with Mom during her illness, especially sisters, brother and their spouses. Sincere thanks to the Ellis Family for the kindness you have shown to our family in our time of need. Your compassion towards Mom will never be forgotten. We would also like to thank Father Paul Murphy for his meaningful homily and beautiful funeral mass. A sincere thank you to the Holy Redeemer Choir for the beautiful selection of music they had chosen, to Jonathan MacInnis for the beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace, and to the Eucharistic Ministers and Alter Servers, especially Peggy's Grandson Ryan, who were a great assistance to Father Murphy during the Funeral Mass. To all who shared our loss with visits, phone calls, emails, attended the funeral, charitable donations, mass and sympathy cards, monetary gifts, brought food to our home, or traveled long distances to be with us, we are deeply appreciative. The outpouring of affection and caring concern was a tribute to the esteem in which Mom was held, and we are truly grateful for your many acts of kindness, prayers, thoughts and deeds. A special thank you to Bill Laurie and his staff at Pier Community Funeral Home for their compassion and professionalism. We know Mom was watching as you released the beautiful doves at her place of rest. It was a beautiful sentiment that will never be forgotten.
God Bless each and every one of you. Your thoughtfulness will be remembered forever.
