Baltinglass said a fond farewell last week to a local couple Sean and Brid O Toole who died within hours of each other.
There was a sombre mood in the town on Wednesday (13th) for the joint funeral of Sean and Brid O Toole, who both passed away due to Covid-19.
Sean died peacefully on Sunday, January 10 at the age of 97 in the care of Baltinglass Hospital. Brid (95) passed away on Tuesday, January 12, at Baltinglass Hospital, hours before Sean s funeral had been due to take place. They lived together and died together. The loss will fade, but their love story will remain, said Martin O Toole, one of the couple s two sons.
