I have been asked to let you all know some really horribly sad news......

[PurplePillow]

That on Monday 24th August at approximately 6pm TrinityRhino's wonderful husband was killed in a car crash.

He was working near Biggar in Scotland and was on his way home when his van and a 17-5 ton lorry collided.

Thankfully he was killed instantly and did not suffer although as you will all understand the family's suffering is on going

As many of you will know Trinity and I are really close friends and I feel as if my heart has been ripped out and have only now felt I was strong enough to post this for her (I wouldn't post without her permission) and can only imagine how she and her 3 little girls and her 2 stepsons are feeling

The world is most definately a worse place for the loss of this wonderful husband, dad & friend.

God bless and R.I.P.

I hope that makes sense as I can hardly see the keys for tears

so sorry to hear this

you and your family are in my thoughts trinity

So Trinity can read this as a condolences thread later, when she needs some comfort, would it be a good idea to have a separate thread for ideas on how to offer our help?

I am so sorry to hear this TR, what a tragic, tragic loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children.

I'm so sorry TR, my thoughts are with you and your family. xxxxx

so sorry for your loss

Thoughts with your family at this time.

People obviously want to do something, may I make a suggestion. When my wife died we set up a in memorium page on justgiving.com so people could donsate in her memory to two of her favourite charities. Its very simple to do and the messages and memories people left as they were donating were lovely to read.

Trinity, I am so truly sorry for your devastating loss- my thoughts are with you and the children.

I am so so sorry for your loss
