Little sister’s love provides a fitting tribute to Nicola

The sister of Nicola Furlong brought tears to the eyes of mourners who packed St Margaret’s Church as she bravely eulogised her sister, saying: “The jigsaw of her life would never be finished.”

Andrea, Nicola’s heartbroken youngest sister, told mourners in Curracloe, Co Wexford, that “it’s not goodbye. It’s see you later.”

Nicola, a DCU exchange student who was spending a year in Japan, died in a luxury Tokyo hotel after going there with her best friend and two American men after a concert by the US rapper Nicki Minaj on May 23.
