Special thanks to the McNulty family circle.To our dearest friends who supported Brian and our family through many years – you know who you are – we are forever in your debt. Brian chose his friends well and never more so than when he chose his friends in South Armagh. We feel you have become an extension of our family.
To Pauline and Tina – much love and thanks for the love, care, devotion, loyalty and great dignity you gave Brian.
To Brian’s medical teams in Dublin and Newry for his quality of care – our sincerest thanks.  Brian’s G.P.’s – Dr Seamus Mc Hugh and Dr Mary Larkin -–  many thanks for all the care and attention Brian received. A special mention to Margaret Dillon and Jacqui Rafferty. To all the medical staff, district nurses and Marie Curie nurses, a huge thanks. Great appreciation and thanks to the staff of Fegan’s Chemist, Belfast.
A massive thank you to the Republican Movement from all over Ireland who organised, gave guidance and took part in Brian’s wake and funeral.  A heart-felt thank you to South Armagh and Belfast for your display of camaraderie and strength.  Brian would be as proud as we are, it was powerful.  He loved you to bits.
To Sean, Martina and Gerry, thank you for your personal tributes. We felt that you really tried to capture what was Brian’s life and personality, and in doing so you showed what true friends he had.
To all those who travelled from all over Ireland, USA, England and elsewhere to attend the wake and funeral, it was much appreciated. To all those who sent cards, flowers, messages of sympathy and donations to charity – thank you.
Many people contributed to Brian’s wake and funeral behind the scenes and we would like you to know what this meant to us; it gave us the opportunity to meet and talk to the people in Brian’s life, many of whom we had never met. Many thanks to the caterers in Cullyhanna, New Barnsley and Roddie Mc Corley club. Thank you also to Martin for his moving account of Brian’s funeral.
We would like to acknowledge with thanks the Healy Bothers, Tom and Sean and their staff for their help, support and dignified manner in which they carried out Brian’s last wishes. We would also like to thank the staff of Roselawn Crematorium.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually. We trust this acknowledgment will be accepted by all those who contributed to Brian’s life and his farewell.
Finally, and in Brian’s own words: “Keep the faith and spread it”. Chrissie Keenan & Family
