In this time of exceptional circumstances many are unable to hold funeral services, attend wakes or mourn and show respect for lives passed in the way that they might have wanted.
This was very movingly portrayed during the week on radio (and later TV) when a Mayo lady called a radio station and recounted the life of her sister with a heartfelt poem so poignantly orated.
In reproducing that poem and video here, we remember all those who may have lost their lives to this virus or other reason, and mourned under these exceptionally difficult conditions. RIP.
