I really cannot stress these two areas enough. Fire Officers who were called to Mrs Cardwell's home discovered her body in the living room. The fire, which was believed to have been started by a cigarette, was confined to the one room and had smothered itself out. Rachel Cardwell was laid to rest at Desertcreat Parish Church following a Service on Friday afternoon. She leaves behind a daughter Linda, son Kenneth, brother Cecil and a large family circle.
Deepest sympathy is extended to the family.
Tragedy struck again last Wednesday evening, this time in Dungannon, when the emergency services were tasked to a house in Union Place in the town, following a call at around 5.30pm. An ambulance was on the scene within minutes and paramedics worked to stabilise the victim, Helen McKeever. She passed away on Friday. Mrs McKeever was buried following a funeral service at Brackaville Parish Church, Coalisland, on Monday afternoon. Deepest sympathy is extended to her husband Eamon and the family circle.
