Laoise Grace Nolan died suddenly on June 26, following a road traffic accident outside Belturbet, Co. Cavan. Reflecting on life without Laoise, her devastated mother, Deirdre, said: “She will be sorely missed, and it is something we will never get over.” Laoise was “a very lovable, likeable and happy girl”. Her favourite colour was white; her favourite song was ‘I Hope’, by Gabby Barrett; and her favourite flower was the sunflower. Since the 22-year-old was buried last Wednesday in Cross Cemetery, her grave has received new floral tributes daily. Deirdre said: “I have been to her grave every day, and there are more and more flowers every day.”
