The family of young Wexford woman Sharon Bennett who died last week, a fortnight after being subjected to an alleged assault in Ennis, County Clare, will never get over her death, according to her heartbroken dad.
Sharon, originally from Blackstone, Duncormick, sustained severe head injuries and never regained consciousness following the alleged attack. She died in University Hospital Limerick in the early hours of last Wednesday, with her parents P.J and Vicki lying beside her, holding her hands, after her life support was switched off.
Sharon leaves behind her two beloved daughters Leah (9) and Alisha (6) who wrote letters for Sharon to place in her coffin, describing her as the best mammy in the world and saying how much they love and will miss her.
