A Real IRA car bomb in Omagh on August 15 1998 killed 31 people, including unborn twins. Under the guidance of artist Carole Kane, children in the town transformed the floral tributes to the dead into paper and art work. On this blog, Carole, assisted by Malachi O'Doherty, hears the stories of Omagh people touched by the bomb.
A Haiku
When the petals fell
She gathered them, child's play
And wove the path home. John Paul Lederach

She Had Lovely Hands
One of those who died in the Omagh bomb was Mary Grimes, remembered here by her friends Bridie and Molly who knew her through a shared interest in patchwork stitching.
Mary Grimes is also remembered by Gabrielle McAleer.
