Fr Michael Murtagh told the mourners that he struggled to find the words to express the devastation for the 30-year-old’s “senseless” death.
In his powerful eulogy, he said: “It’s not supposed to be like this. Words are inadequate, nothing can take away the loss suffered.
“A young six-year-old child should not be burying her young mother.
She died after the incident at home nearly two weeks ago
“A mother and father are not supposed to be burying their daughter.
“Nadine fought so bravely until her fight for life ended last Tuesday.
“Kya we promise our lives and souls will not become casualties. Nadine will live on in her daughter Kya.”
Last Monday, around 1,000 people attended a candlelight vigil for her.
