Mourners stunned by Covid death
JOE McCarron will be remembered, treasured and loved for a long time, mourners heard at his funeral Mass yesterday.
The 67-year-old Donegal man, who died from COVID-19, was laid to rest in his hometown of Dungloe.
Fr Eddie Gallagher told mourners: “This is a very sad day, and we think of the bereaved who are broken-hearted on this day.
“The person who will miss Joe most of all is his wife Una.
“We offer our prayers and sympathy to Una who is widowed and broken-hearted.”

Mr McCarron was a COVID-19 patient at Letterkenny University Hospital but was removed, against medical advice by an activist who claimed that he was being forced into intensive care.
The former radio DJ was readmitted two days later and was put on a ventilator but his condition deteriorated and he passed away on Friday.
Gardaí have appointed a senior investigating officer to oversee an investigation into recent incidents at Letterkenny University Hospital.
