Family urges youngsters to remember Donal’s message

The family of Donal Walsh has called on young people to remember his message against suicide as they face their first Christmas without the Kerry teenager.

Donal’s parents Elma and Fionnbar and sister Jema thanked the public for their support since his death in May following a five-year battle with cancer.

“This year we lost a son and a brother. We are heartbroken and at times the future does not seem too bright, but at times like this we think of Donal and the life he wanted to live,” they said.
