“She was strong, courageous and a force to be reckoned with. The heart of the family. She fought many obstacles in her life but strength and love for her children kept her going.
“We take comfort in the fact that she is now at peace and reunited with her much-loved mum Kathleen. The loss we have experienced will never leave us.
“RIP Mum, you’re now free from pain.”
