Cornafean club notes
October 17, 2016Amy Sheridan R I P. ..The sudden death of Amy Sheridan last week in a road traffic accident cast a dark shadow over the Lacken/Cornafean area. To her parents Jim and Marie ,her brothers Gary and Shane and the extended Sheridan and Leddy families the heart felt sympathy of the community goes out to them all on the tragic and sudden loss of their beloved Amy. .Amy who was twenty five years of age was extremely popular among her peers while studying in Athlone and also as a staff member in Cavan General Hospital but it will be her beloved Lacken club where she excelled as a camogie player who will feel her loss the keenest. The huge numbers that turned out to say farewell to Amy bore testament to her popularity and no doubt this brought much solace and comfort to the Sheridan and Leddy families . She was laid to rest in Potahee cemetery after requiem mass on Wednesday last. Rest In Peace, Ar dheis De go raibh a h-anam dillis....
