He continued: "This isn't a Requiem Mass for Fianna - she doesn't need our prayers, we need hers. We know she is with God already. That's why this is a Mass of the Angels. From now on, she will guide and guard her family every time they think of her, every time they say her name."
He continued: "Even the week Fianna was born, Karen was coaching the team. Fianna couldn't have missed loving the GAA and football even if she tried. But for one so young she had a passion for the game that was remarkable, she really understood it.
