Bishop Forster ‘deeply saddened’ by the death of Mrs Pat Hume

A statement from the Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, the Rt Revd Andrew Forster, following the death of Mrs Pat Hume:

I am deeply saddened by the news of Pat Hume’s death. Mrs Hume was ever present at her husband, John’s side through his long and distinguished career, and subsequently through his many years of ill health.

John has left an immense political and historical legacy, and Pat is an intrinsic and indispensable part of that. The affection and esteem in which she was held right across the community is an eloquent tribute to the impact she made on people’s lives.

My thoughts and prayers are with Pat’s daughters and sons, and with the wider family circle.
