Dumbarton funeral Mass for family at centre of bin lorry tragedy
The requiem funeral mass for there members of the same family killed in the bin lorry tragedy will take place in St Patrick’s Church in Dumbarton on Saturday.
The funeral for Erin McQuade, 18, Jack Sweeney, 68, and his wife Lorraine, 69, will be held at St Patrick’s RC Church on Saturday.
Mourners will be led by Jacqueline McQuade who saw her daughter and parents die in the horror accident in Glasgow city centre last week.
At a memorial Mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Glasgow on Christmas Eve, Archbishop Philip Tartaglia (above) spoke about how he wept with Mrs McQuade on the night of the tragedy.
Archbishop Tartaglia said that Mrs McQuade and her family were left in tears by the ‘abyss of their loss’ after student Erin McQuade and her grandparents Jack and Lorraine Sweeney, all from Dumbarton, were fatally injured in the accident.
Erin was a first year English Literature student at Glasgow University and also worked as a housekeeper at the five-star Cameron House Hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond.
One of the first tributes paid to her grandparents came from the Bramalea Celtic Club in Ontario where Jack was once president.
