Description

This is the season finale of iSPeaks, but it may not be what you're expecting from a finale.

It's more of a beginning actually. It's the first virtual celebration of Alannah's life and story; she passed away in 2015 following a battle with leukaemia. Her parents, David McMillan and Eileen McAteer, have consented to sharing her story digitally, both via this podcast episode and a Facebook page created in her honour. 

The sound editing isn't clean, and not all the names and dates are accurate; however, it's a perfect representation of a community's myriad of memories and responses to tragedy.

Thank you, from the bottom of hearts, for listening.
