"When we laid our dad to rest, we used Ian Johnston Funeral Directors, who couldn’t have done enough for us. They were very professional.
"Ian had told us about the fundraising does in Gallatown at Christmas time to help buy gifts for children, and we thought that it would be a good idea to help as I previously stayed in Gallatown for 16 years.
"Initially, we were going to hold another tombola to coincide with the anniversary of my dad’s passing, but because of the lockdown we were unable to do so.

Ian Johnston said: “The amount that the Kane Family has raised is absolutely amazing, I can’t thank them enough for helping to support vulnerable kids in Gallatown at Christmas time.”
