Heartbreak as 10-month-old baby 'dies peacefully in mummy's arms'

A local community is in heart break after the tragic death of eight month old Peadar McFadden in the arms of his mother at a Belfast hospital.

A post from Funeral Times says the little baby “died peacefully in his mummy’s arms at Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children” on November 15.

His funeral is set to take place tomorrow (Friday 18th) “from his parents home to St Peter’s Church for Mass of the angels at 10.30am”.

"Peadar age 8 Months, darling baby son of Joe and Anne 123 Lake Street Lurgan and loving brother of Tony,” adds the insertion.“Interment afterwards in St Colman’s Cemetery.“Suffer little children to come unto me.“Very deeply regretted by his loving daddy, mummy, brother and the entire family circle”.

Tributes to the baby boy have included one from St Peter’s CLG, Lurgan where Peadar’s father is a member and his mother Anne is a former player.

They said: “The committees and members of St Peter’s CLG, An Lorgain, deeply regret the death of Peadar, precious baby son of our esteemed member Joe, former player Anne, much-loved brother of underage player Tony and dear nephew of our coach Elizabeth. We wish to offer our sincere condolences to Joe, Ann, Tony, Lizzie and the entire McFadden & Jordan families. Until we all meet again, may God hold him in the palm of His hand.”
