My Family and I would like to offer our sincerest sympathies to Private Seán Rooney’s Mother Fiancée grandparents Uncles Aunts his work colleagues in the Irish Army his close friends and all thoes that mourn him I feel the whole country is feeling your pain and wishing you all peace of mind. I wish I could wave a magic wand and take all you pain away but unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to take this cross away. Just to let you know ,that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. In my own personal experience of losing loved unexpectedly, I found “one foot in front of another” and as the old song say “One day at a time “ Is the only thing that helps. God bless you all and in time you will be able to think of Sean RIP without feeling so much heart wrenching pain, you will remember him with a smile on your face xx
