Chris, I didn't get a chance to know Ailish but I have known you for almost two decades and in that time I had never seen you so in love with someone as you were with Ailish. She must have been an amazing girl. I am so sad that you lost her but love doesn't just disappear and you will always be able to feel her with you each step of the way. Let her be your strength and you will make her proud. My thoughts are with you, I can't imagine how difficult such a loss is.

I search for words of comfort and know there are none. It is a measure of the depth of your love for her that you mourn and I join you in your sorrow.

I had the privilege of going to high school with Ailish and graduated with her as well, She was always a very positive person and friend to all that knew her. We have lost a bright light in this world, although I have not seen Ailish since high school she will be deeply missed by all the people Ailish had touched in her life. My condolences go out to her family and friends from mine. We are deeply sorry for yor loss.

We had the pleasure of working with Ailish last year. Her enthusiasm, intelligence and humour made her a great person to work with and explore new thinking. Ailish will be missed by many.

I had the priviledge of working with Ailish two years ago in HR at the City. She was so smart, eager to learn and always ready to take a new project. She was an amazing young woman.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

I had an opportunity to work with Ailish and was always impressed with her intelligence, good nature, and smile she had for everyone. Her passing is a tragic loss and she will be missed by many.

Dearest Chris,
I didn't have the opportunity to know Ailish very well but I very clearly remember sitting across the table from her at Ceili's after one of our Nexopia 'team bonding' outings. I couldn't tell you what we spoke about but I very clearly remember thinking that she was such a lovely girl. She was so kind and very easy to talk with. Ailish and I chatted the whole time while the rest of you guys discussed music that I had little knowledge of (or interest in for that matter) - I remember being so thankful that she was there
Hold tight to memories for comfort, and may the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

When Ailish fist started with the City, we sat next to each other. She was my work buddy and was always there when I needed someone to talk to. I will miss her a lot.
My thoughts and prayers to her family.

I worked with Ailish at the City a few years ago. She was always a very determined, go getter and never seemed to give up until she got the information required. She will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to the family and friends.

I cannot make sense of why or how this happened. So young, so much life left to live. May you rest in peace, Ailish. Thoughts and wishes to your friends and family.
