‘Rachael will give students strength to get through last days of college’

The sister of a University of Limerick student who collapsed and died suddenly on one of her last days in college has thanked those who held the 22-year-old’s hand in her final moments.

Noelle Hogan was speaking at the funeral Mass of her younger sister Rachael, a fourth-year business student who died suddenly while giving a presentation on her final year project at UL’s Kemmy Business School last Thursday.

In a remarkable display of selflessness, Noelle told her sister’s friends, gathered at Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Milford, Limerick, that her family is thinking of them as they prepare for their final exams.
