The funeral has taken place of one of the three Westmeath people who died a crash in Spain almost two weeks ago.
Amy McCullagh was remembered as a young woman whose kindness, warmth and infectious smile touched everyone she met.
Hundreds of mourners gathered in Ballynacargy this morning.
The voices of the singers filled the Church of the Nativity as family, friends and members of the wider community gathered to celebrate the life of Amy McCullagh.
Ms McCullagh died in a road collision near Malaga on the twenty-eighth of June, alongside Michaela Newcombe and Mark McCullagh Crichton, just hours after arriving in Spain for a holiday.
The tragedy shocked not only the midlands, but communities across Ireland.
Inside the packed church, there was an overwhelming sense of sadness, but also of gratitude for a life that, while far too short, had touched so many people.
Welcoming mourners, the chief celebrant, Fr. Tony Gonoude acknowledged the immense grief that has descended on the family since news of the crash emerged.
He told the congregation of Amy's help towards others as well as her passion for music:
Fr. Tony acknowledged the time Amy spent with her family.
Amy is survived by her daughters Ruby and Kaylee, and son Curtis.
Fr. Tony had a special message for them:
It was a farewell marked by overwhelming sadness, but also by deep gratitude for a young life that, although tragically short, left an immeasurable impact on everyone fortunate enough to have known Amy McCullagh.
