Lisa
The parents of Lisa Orsi, who passed away after collapsing on a volcano trek in Indonesia last February, were special guests at the finals of the Community Games in Athlone at the weekend.
The 22-year-old Derry woman was a keen gaelic footballer who loved sport.
The physiotherapist had volunteered as a youth helper with the Games and her emotional parents paid tribute to her HSE Community Games friends for helping them through their grief.
Her father Denis Orsi said: “I don’t think the man who came up with the name Community Games realised what he was creating.
“He can’t have known the community that it would develop into.
“Over the past few months I’ve come to 100pc realise that it was Community Games that made Lisa the person she was.
“It made her rounded, gave her confidence and the will to mix and bring out the best in people.”
