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 itโ€™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 โ€œSweet Memories โ€œof 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 Maryโ€™s Church Mullaghbawn.

Thank you also to McCreesh & Sons Funeral Directors for their professionalism and empathy throughout. Thanks to Kevin Rice for providing floodlighting to facilitate access to the wake house and to Dromintee GFC for the loan of their facilities. We acknowledge also the pastoral support provided by both Deacon George Kingsnorth and Fr Sรฉamus White during the wake and thank Fr Sรฉamus for celebrating such a personal Requiem Mass. Thank you also to Ciarรกn and Catrรญona for providing the music at the funeral and to anyone who helped out in any way.
