Notes: 

Graham was a "little gentleman" who came into the local community and immediately began assisting the graveyard carers group, attending each day we arranged a tidy up. Graham had no family buried in the graveyard but appeared each time we needed any assistance, taking up his tools and working away to rescue the area from the undergrowth. Graham passed away suddenly in his home in Tiermoyle on 17-July-2007. This memorial is placed inside the gate of the graveyard and you will probably only note it on your way out. At the unveiling ceremony the secretary of the graveyard group asked the attendees: "You will visit the graveyard to remember and pray for your loved ones, but on your way out we ask you to think of Graham, his contribution to the local community and to this project, say a little prayer for him also."
