💚 Remembering Aoife Tinnelly 💚

Aoife’s mum Brenda, her brother Daire and her cousin Connor Tinnelly Rodrigues recently visited Kevin’s Bench in New York, before enjoying lunch together at Rory Dolan’s.

Aoife’s family very generously asked for donations to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust in lieu of flowers at her funeral. We are so grateful to everyone who donated, with an incredible £1,644 raised in Aoife’s memory.

Thank you to Brenda, Daire, Connor and all of Aoife’s family and friends for their kindness and generosity. We are truly grateful for your support and for helping us continue our work supporting families at the most difficult time in their lives.

Thinking of Aoife and all those who loved her.
