The heartbroken daughter of a Co Down woman who died in a weekend road accident said that she doesn't know how she will ever get over the loss of the woman she "loved more than life itself".
Michelle Healy (48), from Castlewellan, died in a single vehicle collision on Dree Hill in Dromara at around 1.10pm on Sunday.
Father Denis McKinlay of St Malachy's Church in Castlewellan, where Ms Healy's funeral will take place tomorrow, said her tragic death had come just weeks after local man Shane McAnallen lost his life in a car crash in Co Louth.
Mr McAnallen, from Burrenreagh Road in the town, and his friend Martin Patterson, who were both aged in 20s, died in the crash near Carlingford on the Cooley Peninsula in the early hours of March 18.
Fr McKinlay said: "This is exceptionally sad news and is the second road traffic accident in the parish within a matter of weeks.
"It's just so shocking and terribly sad that now we have another young woman's life taken so suddenly in a tragic road crash.
"I know several members of the family and they are exceptionally nice people.
"The parish feels for them in their time of sorrow and will be praying for them."
