Tragically at home, dearest daughter of Kevin and Demi.

The family is heartbroken by the tragic loss of their beloved child and is struggling to come to terms with this unimaginable grief. During this incredibly difficult time, they kindly ask for privacy as they mourn and support one another. They deeply appreciate the compassion and understanding shown by the community, but respectfully request space to grieve away from public attention. At the families request all arrangements will be completely private.

The beauty of a memory, is that it’s always there.
Like a penny in your pocket, you can take it anywhere.

And when your heart is heavy,and your eyes are full of tears, you can focus on your memories, and travel through the years.

Your heart can visit happy times,when laughter fills the air,and the presence of your loved ones, will lessen your despair.

So,as you travel on in life,take comfort as you go., in a lifetime of “Sweet Memories “of one who loved you so.

Loved & missed always by his loving wife Mary and daughters Angela,Marie,Deirdre and entire family circle.

Anniversary Mass on Sunday 8th March @ 10.30am in St Mary’s Church Mullaghbawn.
