The parents of Annabel Loughlin have paid tribute to their darling girl who tragically died in an accident at their home on November 2.
Annabel’s funeral mass took place on Tuesday afternoon and her mum and dad honoured their little girl by delivering the most emotional eulogies.
According to the Independent, her dad Enda said she was the strongest kid: “She had a heart of gold, a smile that would light up heaven and a temper that would put the fear of God into the strongest and bravest of us all.”
“Words can’t describe the loss you are to your mammy, daddy, Senan and TJ… Sleep tight missy moo, we love you,” the grieving dad concluded.
Annabel’s mum said her daughter meant the world to so many people: “As a baby, right through to a three-and-a-half-year-old, Annabel never really liked to sleep, but now I realise she was just trying to cram in as many hours of living as she could.”
“For a little girl, she’d lived life to the fullest. Every morning she’d wake up with her blonde hair and a smile ready for each day,” she continued.
Eileen spoke about the future that was tragically ripped away from their gorgeous girl: “I wanted to see what you would grow up to be. You had beauty, brains, personality and determination. When God made you, he made perfection.”

The heartbroken mum added: “I wanted to hug you when there were boy troubles. I wanted to watch you fall in love and sit while you chose the perfect wedding dress. I even wanted to watch you have babies because you told me you wanted to be a mammy.”
The loss of Annabel is nothing but harrowing. We can’t even begin to imagine what her parents are going through right now.
Our thoughts are with her parents and family during this heartbreaking time.
