During the ceremony, Jade described her mum as “beautiful, funny, kind and true”.
According to The Irish Mirror, she said: “You brought so much love, light, and laughter into all of our lives. The loving sister, a devoted daughter to my granny and grandad.
“Mam, I will never forget the day that changed all of our lives forever, being told you were missing, last seen on a beach, the sense of helplessness we all felt.
“Our bond is unbreakable, it’s so strong. We’re the best of friends who shared many laughs, many highs, many lows, countless memories that will live on forever and I promise to make many more for us both.
Jade added, “Thank you truly for giving me everything, love, laughs, courage, and strength, telling me straight and correcting me when I’m wrong.”
We’re keeping Jade and her family in our thoughts during this heartbreaking time.
