In Loving Memory 🤍
With the heaviest of hearts, we say goodbye to Dermot, who was not only a much-loved part of our StepByStep family, but also our dear neighbour and friend.
It is so difficult to find the words to express the sadness we feel. Dermot was a kind, warm and genuine person who brought so much to those around him. He will be missed more than words can say.
Our hearts are with Caitriona and their eight beautiful children — Eva, Killian, Conor, Kian, Sean, Jimmy, Daniel and Callum — and all of their family and friends. We are thinking of you all and sending you so much love and strength at this heartbreaking time. 🤍
From all of us at StepByStep Early Years, you will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
For anyone who would like to support Caitriona and the children, you can do so through the GoFundMe here:
