Life can be so so cruel, Ciara was not just loved and adored by her family but by everyone who had the pleasure and honour to have known her. When I say she was something special she really was. We are just lost for words this morning and heartbroken beyond words. Our thoughts are with Tommy, her mum and dad, brother and sisters and the entire family and community who loved her so much at this extremely sad time. Rest easy Ciara 💔🙏

At 6:30am this morning, Ciara lost her battle with cancer surrounded by her loved ones. A beloved daughter, sister, wife, friend and inspiration to so many, she will be deeply missed.
