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

Wishing you love and strength...

SalVolatile · 02/09/2009 20:19

Trinity - you'll probably never read this but your DH waving hands free on his bike is a favourite happy image of mine, so I was horrified at the news, and pray that, one day, that image is one that brings you and the dcs comfort - and Craig, you are one special dss to think of others at such a terrible time for you. I send you all my love and support at this terrible time x
