Messages of condolence

With deepest heartfelt sympathy. What a lovely person Michael Laverick was. I worked with him a lot in the 90's. What a kind, caring, considerate and humble surgent. With kind regards Linda Cole - theatre Sister in plastic and reconstructive surgery theatres at the Ulster Hospital for 30 years.

Mrs Linda Cole

In memory of a very special man of so many talents, including the gift of hospitality and humour. We felt proud to know Michael. Our sadness is chiefly for the loss of his loving family. Michael's significant achievements in life were many and varied, as set out so ably and with such grace by Jenny at his Service of Thanksgiving, but his greatest legacy is of course his fantastic family, also full of talent, laughter and kindness. We do our best to hold Paddy and her family in our prayers in the weeks and months to come. With Our Love, Adrienne, Richard & George xXoOoXx
