Sincere condolences to John, Lyndsey, Tracey, Shane, Cian, mother Joan, mother-in-law Sadie, grandson Dylan and all her extended family on the death of Martina, so precious to so many. She was an incredibly brave lady that never lost hope and her resilience, positive attitude, kind words for everyone will be remembered forever. One of the most popular proud Waterford woman that touched so many lives though her illness and also through her love of fitness and her precious family. Martina will never be forgotten and was loved by all. May she somehow bring comfort to you all at this really sad time. She is with her dad and Seanie Gal now and will watch over you all forever. Such a bright light to all. God bless you all. Jo & Family xx
