Newborn baby carried behind coffin of unvaccinated mother who died of Covid

A newborn baby was carried behind the coffin of her unvaccinated mother after she died suddenly from coronavirus.

Mother-of-four Samantha Willis, 35, passed away on Friday barely a week after giving birth to her baby girl, Eviegrace.

Eviegrace was baptised at her mother’s funeral at St Columb’s church in Derry on Monday and tragic photos show the newborn being carried behind the funeral procession.
