At the heart of the family

WHEN 53-year-old Corkman Ray O’Brien went home from work one day and said he needed to lie down, his wife Nancy thought nothing of it.

He had been complaining about headaches and was going to sleep a lot at lunch-time on his breaks, and being a bit forgetful.

However, when he didn’t get up the next day, and he never took his usual drive to watch his daughters training at the nearby GAA pitch in Dunmanway, the family knew something was up.
