The funerals took place separately yesterday of the two Co Cork students who died in last week's murder-suicide tragedy in Cork city.
Wayne Roche, 20, was buried after requiem Mass in St Patrick's Church, Fermoy.
Later, in the same church, requiem Mass was held for his girlfriend, Cliona Magner, 19, whose body was discovered alongside his at a house in Bishopstown, Cork, on St Valentine's Day.
In a homily at her funeral, Parish Priest Father Anthony O'Brien said the Magner and Roche families appreciated the support and kindness shown by neighbours following the grim discovery of their children's bodies last Friday.
"There has been a huge outpouring of love, support and Christian charity," he added.
Her mother, Mrs Deirdre O'Grady, told mourners her daughter, a second-year mechanical engineering student at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), never had any interest in clothes and had to be coerced into buying a dress for her debs' dance.
In her Leaving Cert yearbook at the local Loreto Convent school, Cliona had said her dream was to become a rally racer on the Continent, her mother recalled. She was known locally as the girl in sunglasses who raced around town in her car.
Offertory gifts included her rallying jacket and riding hat. Schoolgirls from the Loreto Convent choir sang at the Mass. Burial followed at Monanimy cemetery in Kilavullen.
She is survived by her parents Deirdre and Pat, and her younger siblings Bronagh and Darragh.
Meanwhile, at the requiem Mass for Wayne Roche of Gurrane, Fermoy, Father Gerard Coleman said the tragedy had "drawn a huge cloud over the families and the entire community".
He told mourners it was hard to understand why Wayne's life was cut so tragically short.
"There was plenty of goodness in Wayne. A lad who was tall in stature yet he was a gentle giant. His brothers [John, Devin and Darren\] were very special to him."
Father Coleman said Wayne's teenage years found him trying to deal with all the pressures that young people have to face today. He told mourners they may "never know the extent of the pressures and worries he faced and the concerns he had which he was unable to share".
Wayne's favourite song, November Rain by rock band Guns N' Roses, was played as his coffin was carried out of the church for burial at Kilcrumper New Cemetery.
He is survived by his parents Margaret and Pat, who run a local contract cleaning business, and by his brothers. The Magners and the Roches are understood to have been of immense comfort and support to each other over the past few days. They are close friends.
