The church was covered in orange and white lilies, with the green leaves
they created the colours of the Irish Flag.

 

 

Lily's friends Dermot Doyle and Janelle Knowles created an unforgettable word picture of Lily.

A copy of this can be read at the end of this page..

Fellow Halloran student Jessica Halloran spoke with Aoibhinn Gallagher who danced with Lily and also went to school with her.

 

Lily's boyfriend Adam spoke of his love for his Lily Her sister Jennifer reflected on the ups and downs of life in the same house with Lily!

Adam then sang the song "A 'Lil song for Lil"
which he had written for her.

 

The talented Daisy Cousens who dances in Lily's section sang "You Lift me Up" for the recessional. Her clear voice held to the end of a very difficult performance.

 

Afterwards all the dancers formed a guard of honour for the funeral procession. They held bunches of lilies up as Lily passed by.

 

At the wake Dermot Doyle received a standing ovation for his heart felt dance for Lily.

 

Then everyone joined in the dancing on stage.
