WITH THANKS
Elza Borzi and family of Mick Borzi AM OBE would like to express their deepest gratitude to Mareeba Ambulance staff and the doctors and nursing staff at the Mareeba Hospital who provided medical and compassionate care for Mick in his time of need. We extend that gratitude to medical practitioners who have provided health care to Mick through his life: Dr Grant Manypeney, Dr Timothy Carruthers, and Dr Edward Guirguis.
A warm thank you to Fr Saju Thekkanath Joseph, CFIC, and to Fr Robert Greenup O.S.A. for the service. We especially valued Fr Saju’s eloquent and heartfelt homily; it was truly befitting to Mick’s memory. Sincere thanks to Bernadette Blake, organist, the Catholic Church Choir, Miguel Samanes, Carmel Serravalle, and the Mareeba Police. We gratefully acknowledge your part in celebrating Mick’s life.
We would also like to thank Guilfoyle Funerals Mareeba, O’Donnell printers in Mareeba, and Lui Garozzo and the volunteers at the Mareeba International Club for the professional services that they provided to our family. A special thanks to Tom Braes and the Mareeba Lions Club for the Guard of Honour and the Lions eulogy.
A warm appreciation to everyone who brought food and sent flowers and cards. We drew great comfort from your care and kindness. We also deeply appreciate the thoughts and support of extended family and friends, some of whom travelled long distances to join us, and to those who could not.
Please accept this as a personal thanks to you all.
