Claudine Keane has paid tribute to her mother in law Anne after her death was announced earlier this week.
Claudine, who is married to Robbie Keane, posted the lovely tribute to Anne on social media on Tuesday.
And in the post, Claudine praised her mother in law for her strength and courage and also said that there will be a fitting tribute with Anne's favourite singer Mary Black set to sing at her funeral.
In her post on social media, Claudine said: "To my beloved mother in Law Anne Keane we are totally devastated by your passing.
"You showed so much strength and courage. You waited and held on to speak to each and everyone of us, words of wisdom we will all cherish forever."
Claudine also said she is thankful for the loving memories she made with her mother in law.
She added: My last meal with you was in St. James’s hospital all the girls chatting away and you being your typical witty self telling jokes and recounting stories through the years I’m so thankful for those moments & I will cherish those memories.
"I met your son not knowing that loving him would also bring me closer to you an amazing woman I admire who was so warm kind and generous to everyone she met."
And Claudine spoke of Anne's strength to hold the Keane family together after the untimely passing of her husband Robert Snr back in 2003.
"The strong woman who lost her husband 20 years ago and had the strength to hold all of the family together putting their needs before her own. The woman who accepted me into her family and made me feel loved wholeheartedly.
"Words are not enough to express my gratitude and tell you how much you mean to me and my kids. Thank you not only for raising the man of my heart but also for loving me like your own."
And Claudine promised that the Keane family would be giving her the ultimate send off later this week.
"Anne on Thursday we will give you the send off you deserve with your favourite singer Mary black at the church singing on your final journey home. We adore you fly high with Robbie senior and the angels."
"RIP our dearest Anne we will keep you in our hearts"
