Another heartfelt tribute read: "Ed, On that September day in 2000 when you walked down the aisle in Kilgobinet church with your beautiful, charming bride, Siobhan, I never entertained the thought that one day I might be writing this message of condolence, but life does not make sense and losing someone as young and loving as Siobhan is tragic. Our deepest sympathy to you, Mary, Eamon and all the Family. May Siobhan rest in peace."

A third added: "Sincere condolances to Ed, the Lonergan and Byrne Families on the sad passing of Siobhan. Great memories of Siobhan when she worked in Stafford Miller, a proud Waterford woman who greeted you with a smile, she always made time to have a chat and catch up with the latest news. She will be sadly missed. May Siobhan Rest in Peace."
