11 years ago our daughter Saoirse passed away in our arms, the pain never eases & increased when Liam joined her 3 yrs later, both forever #5
Saoirse was the essence of happiness and joy, she loved life.
Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you today!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Mary & I are heartbroken to state that we have taken the decision to step away from the Saoirse Foundation.
We set up the charity in March'10 as a family of 4 and now we depart as a family of 4 with Saoirse & Liam tucked up in our hearts.

Despite the weather we had a busy day in #BUMBLEance. Driver Áine collected King #Bee Adam very early to bring him to @CMRF_Crumlin They had fun on the long journey. Then Áine met Hazel and her Dad. Hazel wants to be a Paramedic & to go in BUMBLEance! https://t.co/sMEOOyeki8

On #battenday2020 we remember Abbey. Her Mum & Dad, Linda & John say "Abbey lit up our world. She was a girl in a rush to live her life. Her love for all things fast and thrilling entertained us constantly. She adored her family and friends especially her little sister Kyra" ❤️
