IN CELEBRATION OF ALANNAH DUNN…
Together as a Parish, we celebrate the life of Alannah Dunn.
We join with our Community as a whole to show our love and support for Alannah, her parents Caitríona and Martin, sister Juliette, brother Michael and the wider Dunn family. We are heartbroken and pray that her family may get some solace from the enormous outpouring of love that is evident throughout our Parish.
Everyone is very welcome to put messages of support and memories of Alannah in the comments below. We will give this remembrance page to her family at her Month’s Mind.
As difficult as it is for each of us not to be physically together in any tragedy, always remember, we are together virtually. No one is alone – there is always someone to talk to.

To Caitriona, Martin, Juliette, Michael, The Farrell and Dunn families. Words cannot adequately express the overwhelming sadness felt in the community for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your beautiful daughter Alannah rest in peace.
Until this morning I knew nothing whatsoever about Alannah, only that she was the grand-daughter of one of my wife’s friends and that she had died in a tragic accident.
I was doing something else when Geri (my wife) tuned in to the funeral proceedings on the web and only half hearing them. But I was quickly drawn in to a ceremony that I can only describe as spell-bindingly moving.
I think the celebrant succeeded in doing the almost-impossible, doing justice to the immense poignancy of the occasion and offering real comfort to all concerned with a spirituality that is clearly deep and considered. I have NEVER heard a better eulogy and how appropriate that it should be delivered where it was so desperately needed. That someone so special should be lost so young, right on the cusp of life’s most exciting years would challenge even the strongest of faiths.
As I said, I didn’t know Alannah at all – until this morning. But I really feel I do now and this stranger now grieves for her and her family. But he takes with him a real sense of hope and faith for having gate-crashed this terribly sad yet wonderful event. And he searched Spotify for ‘Close to You’ by The Carpenters which will now forever evoke the spirit of Alannah and the joy of her life.
With heart-felt sympathy and gratitude.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you on your heartbreaking loss.
