Clodagh Hawe’s sister tells mourners: ‘Family chain is broken’

“It breaks our hearts to lose you all, you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you all, the day God called you home.”

Clodagh Hawe’s sister Jacqueline turned to poetry to convey the heartache and deep sense of loss that has engulfed two families and a rural community following last week’s murder-suicide.

Choking back tears, she told the hundreds of mourners that life would never be the same.
