Family Pay Tribute To Michael Monroe
The family of an American man who died while on honeymoon in Northern Ireland have paid tribute.
Michael Monroe died and his wife Caroline was injured in a road collision in Co Antrim last Tuesday, 25 September.
The crash happened on Gracehill Road in Ballymoney.
Caroline's mother Aileen McKenna and brother Will Braaksma issued a statement.
"We are deeply appreciative of Bernadette who sat with Caroline in the hospital during those first terrible hours, and Grainne and Ciara who picked Caroline's mother and brother up at Dublin airport and drove them three hours north to the hospital.
"We are forever grateful to the police liaisons who have guided us through these awful and heart-breaking days and also to the Life After group who have done so much for us.
"Michael was a kind, loving man, a teacher beloved by his family, friends and students, but especially by his beautiful bride Caroline and their two dogs, Monty and Milo.
"Please respect our privacy as Caroline heals physically and grieves this dreadful loss, re-imagining a future without her sweet Michael."
