TERRIBLE NEWS FROM YORKIEGIRL

tillykins · 10/08/2006 03:25

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

i totally agree tilly - yorkie is a valued and much loved member of both sites so to do this for her will hopfully take a little on the pressure away for her and her family.

misdee · 10/08/2006 09:38

good point tilly. afterall they have mortage etc.

Kaloo20 · 10/08/2006 09:40

I want to help, but the link to MO tells me I can't view the page.

PiccadillyCircus · 10/08/2006 09:43

Her DDs are 4 and 2 I think .

Bozza · 10/08/2006 09:44

Yes her older DD is 4 and her younger one is 2 (April birthday as just a few weeks older than my DD).

Bugsy2 · 10/08/2006 09:45

That is really shocking news, poor Yorkiegirl and her daughters. Huge sympathy to them all.

How utterly devastating. Poor Yorkiegirl and family....so sorry.

tillykins · 10/08/2006 09:54

sorry if I sounded brusque there - bit overwrought myself

I have spoken to Pixie this morning too, she is going to go on the scrapbooking sites she and Anna use, and let people there know the sad news and that there will be a collection set up

Again everyone, thank you so much for all these messages, I know Anna will be really touched when she is able to read them
