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

I'm so sorry for your devastating loss Trinity. I wish there was a way for me to be a practical comfort to you as a nameless, faceless person a huge distance away from you.

Sorry for you too PurplePillow, if there's anything at all any of us can do please let us know.

morningpaper · 29/08/2009 09:38

this is terrible

I'm so so sorry

ShowOfHands · 29/08/2009 09:39

Oh Trinity.

I just don't have the words to express how sorry I am. My mind went straight to that lovely thread about how cool he was with no hands, clapping and waving and how impressed her DD1 was.

It's just so cruel.

My thoughts will be with your family Trinity.

You too PurplePillow, thank you for letting us know.

I know it's soon but I would like to do something, anything. For now just pass on how terribly sorry I was to hear this terrible news.
