A large crowd of mourners had gathered at the church on Thursday evening as the sisters’ and brother’s remains were carried in.
A death notice posted online said the children were the “beloved and cherished” son and daughters of Margaret and the late Andy Cash and Billy Cawley and the “much-loved” brother and sisters of Margaret and Mikey.
