A light goes out as shining stars pass on from this life
The sudden death of anybody is a cause of great anguish to their family and friends and a double tragedy is obviously more devastating.
Such an occurrence happened in Chicago recently. The death in a car accident of former inter-county stars, Joby and Anne O’Connell, sent shock waves through the entire GAA community, especially in Kerry and Galway. Joby was a star hurler with his native Causeway and Kerry and Anne a former camogie star with Abbeyknockmoy and Galway.
