Monday funerals
Yesterday, Martin McGill and Jessica Gallagher were buried and their lives remembered.
“Everyone who knew Jessica knew that radiant smile,” Fr John Joe Duffy told mourners.
“That radiant smile that would light up a room with that infectious warmth that flowed from her. She always brought that sun, whether things were happy or difficult.”
While Mr McGill was described as a "friendly" man who looked after those around him
"You didn’t get one 'Hello, Father', you got about three 'Hello, Fathers' in the one sentence," Fr Duffy recalled.
“When you weren’t quick enough to answer that, there were a few more 'Hello, Fathers' and 'How are you?'
“That was Martin. Martin just wanted to show you he cared for you.”
