Condolences to Sean’s family, his beautiful fiancé Holly and friends on the tragic passing of Sean ❤️ There is no right time for a person to be taken from us but at Christmas time it is certainly one of the worse times, as family and friends should be all coming together to celebrate the festivities with happiness and joy, you have been taken too soon Sean, thanks, your passing will not be in vain. You are a hero in the eyes of the people of Ireland, you died saving your friends and fellow soldiers and you should be so proud. May you have the biggest and brightest halo and have the best bed in heaven. Thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and especially your fiancé Holly as they try to come to sense of this awful tragedy x
