TERRIBLE NEWS FROM YORKIEGIRL

728 replies

Yorkiegirl has phoned me from holiday in Portugal; her husband Nigel has collapsed and died tonight.
She thinks it was a stroke or heart attack.
The authorities are trying to get hold of her parents - they are also in Portugal
Fortunately, neither of her DDs saw anything
I don't know much more than that but will post if I have anything else

such sad news YG...

Anna, I'm so so sorry to hear about Nigel, you and he were so good to me when I stayed with you and it seems so sad and unfair that he won't be there anymore.

You seem like such a strong person but if you need anything at all, me and Mum are only an hour away and will do anything we can to help.

Please give the girls a cuddle from me and look after yourself.

Love Jess xxx

Have just spoken to Anna and she is doing ok considering.

Her parents are with her and the hotel have been fantastic.

I just wish there was more we could do
