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

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

Hi everyone, just a quick post to say Trinity has read some of your lovely posts and really appreciates your kind thoughts, she has cried a bit (which I think she needs) but she is not strong enough yet to post.

We are looking after her as much as we can and making sure she eats and takes her ads and giving her and the kids loads of hugs.

Have emailed lewisfan and a few others but just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all, Your thoughts and messages of strenghth will help in the days ahead.

Love PP xx
