Esther Gibson was known for her “warmth and generosity”, Inquiry told
A Sunday school teacher’s murder in the Omagh bomb cut short a life rich in kindness, love and promise, the inquiry into the outrage heard on Monday.
In that environment she developed a “strong sense of duty and compassion that would characterise her life”, the statement said. Ms Gibson’s sisters spoke of the “joy and purpose” she found in her strong Christian faith. She was a regular attender at Sixmilecross Free Presbyterian Church, where she was known for her “warmth and generosity”.
“Esther’s murder cut short a life that was rich in kindness, love and promise. She was deeply loved by her family, friends and community, and her absence is profoundly felt by all who knew her.” “Esther had suggested, she had said because I was the younger sister to let me have my date first,” she said.
