The Galway girl’s fight against a rare form of bone cancer amazed everyone with how strong and tough she was. The death of Saoírse has broken the hearts of her parents, Roseanna and Ollie, and her little sister Farrah-Rose. They told everyone about their terrible loss by saying, “After a long brave and dignified battle, our hearts are shattered to tell you that our beautiful little Saoírse took her last breath in our arms on Tuesday.” “Thank you to all of our wonderful fans for thinking about Saoírse and us over the past few weeks. “Today, we also think of you because we know how much the country loved Saoírse and how she changed the lives of so many people.” “Cancer, you took her away from us. You also took away our dreams and the life we had.” Things will never be the same!
