‘The lights of our lives’

The heartbroken mother of tragic Shannon Gallagher last night said her daughters were the lights of her life as she tried to come to terms with the death of a second daughter in just six weeks.

Devastated Lorraine Gallagher, 36, spoke after her eldest daughter, 15-year-old Shannon, was found dead just six weeks after Erin took her own life.

Thirteen-year-old Erin was found dead at the family home in Ballybofey, Co Donegal, on Oct 27.
