'I don't know you' - Waterford woman's heartbreaking tribute after death of baby boy
The community in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, and beyond has been left numb by the news of the little Rían Kearney's sad death
An anonymous Waterford woman has joined hundreds of others paying tribute after the death of a baby boy in Wexford.
Tributes are being paid this week after the “cherished son of Michaela Kearns and Seanie (Turk) Kearney” passed away.
Baby Rían Kearney died on Sunday and is “sadly missed by his heartbroken Mam, Dad, sister, grandparents Cath O'Brien and the late John Kearns, Sean and Carol Kearney, great Nannie's Mary Whelan and Cissy o Brien and step grandson of Gerry Clare, his uncles Mark and Stephen, auntie Hollie, uncles, aunts cousins extended family and friends,” according to RIP.ie.
The community in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, and beyond has been left numb by the news of the little boy’s sad death. Family, friends, locals and strangers have been passing on condolences to Rían’s parents.
One Wexford woman wrote: “Heartfelt sympathies to Carol, Sean, Michaela, Seanie, Olivia, and families on the heartbreaking news of Rian’s passing. There are no words. Please know you are all remembered with prayers of strength, hope and light at this most difficult time.”
Another message from a ‘Waterford mam’ simply read: “I don't know you or your family, but I'm so sorry for your loss. Rian was just beautifully perfect. RIP baby boy.”
A third condolence read: “Our hearts go out to baby Rian's family. He will always be that gorgeous little boy in your hearts.”
Another person said: “Thinking of you all at this very sad time...little angel looking down on you now....rest in peace gorgeous little man.”
