Watch emotional singing tribute to late Donegal mum from son in America

An Irishman has sent a touching tribute to his late mum one month on from her passing.

Heartbroken Denis Grindel posted a video of him singing alongside the Choir of Man, with whom he is touring America with.

The talented singer returned to his native Co Donegal prior to his mum Margaret's death on January 30 at Letterkenny University Hospital.

After staying in Ireland for a number of weeks after the popular former teacher at St Columba's College, Stranorlar passed away after a short illness, he went back to the US to join up with his colleagues.

On March 1, he posted: "A month ago today we lay mum to rest.

"It's her anniversary months mind mass back home but I can’t be there as I’m with work in America but I wanted to commemorate the day with this song.

"It was one of mums favourites and we sang it by her graveside. With the help of my friends from  The Choir Of Man  we put together this arrangement.

"Forever in my heart Mum.

"'We’ll kneel and pray there for the ones who have gone, and hope that they’re proud of their wandering son.'"
