'Pope Francis' death like losing a family member'

by Nolan

Catholics in Shropshire say the late Pope Francis will be remembered as "warm, caring and truly loving".

The first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church died aged 88 on Easter Monday and his funeral will be held on Saturday.

"I had an immediate mixture of sadness and joy [to his death]," said Ben Muggridge, a parishioner of St Milburga's in Church Stretton.

"Sadness because we lost him and loved him and joy because he's with God.

"What better time to go than Easter?"
