The funeral Patrick Kriegel, the dad of schoolgirl Anastasia (Ana) who was brutally murdered by two school boys, has heard how he ‘was a gentle soul who embraced life in a very special way’ but could not bear the pain of losing his little girl.
Patrick, formerly of Paris, died peacefully at his home in Leixlip, Co Kildare on Sunday, June 19.
As mourners, including his heartbroken wife Geraldine, Aaron, Bruno, Nathalie, Philippe, his family and friends, gathered at Newlands Cross Crematorium, Patrick’s remains were carried into the chapel with Bach’s Goldberg Variations playing.
