Tribute to another sad person that I miss...Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries

This from Wikipedia, I don't think they can mess this up too much. "O'Riordan was the principal songwriter of the band, and additionally performed acoustic and electric guitars. She became one of the most recognisable voices in alternative rock, and was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, signature yodel, use of keening, and strong Limerick accent. ... O'Riordan was born in County Limerick, Ireland, to a Catholic working-class family. She began to perform as a soloist in her church choir before leaving secondary school to join The Cranberries in 1990. "

"Early life and education

Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan was born on 6 September 1971 in Ballybricken in County Limerick, Ireland,[7][8] the youngest of nine children, two of whom died in infancy.[9] Her father, Terence Patrick "Terry" O'Riordan (1937–2011),[10] worked as a farm labourer until a motorbike accident in 1968 left him brain damaged.[11] Her mother, Eileen (née Greensmith), was a school caterer.[9] O'Riordan was raised in a devout Roman Catholic family,[12] and was named by her mother in reference to the Lady of the Seven Dolours.[13][14] "

Life can be sad, but within most lives, there is great joy, real or imagined, the benefit remains. Find joy in the death and promise of everlasting life.
