"Losing her was like 'the heart being ripped out of the chest' of our entire family. Our mam played so many different roles in our lives. She was a wife, mother, sister, daughter, mother-in-law and grandmother. She was pretty cool at all of them."
"We can take comfort in knowing she was so deeply loved. We mourn her, but we have to celebrate her life as well. It has been a tough few years for my mam, especially when our dad passed away."
"Our mam didn't always get us what we wanted, but she always got us what we needed. She was pretty strict with us. She had an amazing skill of throwing a shoe."

He reflected on her various roles, emphasizing her love and loyalty. Keane shared memories of her happiness, especially with their father, and acknowledged her strength during difficult times.
