This is so tragic it's affected me badly as I know the woman who died. I won't name her as her name hasn't been published. This woman was a lovely outgoing bubbly person and a friend someone I could talk to. I don't understand there were no signs of this happening. Rip friend, listener, and a very thoughtful person. Me and steve will greatlymiss you. Our thoughts are with your husband children and family.
Will the name of this lady be released? this is such a small community and I know many people in this area. Sending out kind thoughts to the family.
I drive past this point everyday and feel so sad for her husband & children. Please send thoughts of love, support & courage at this sad time. Wish I had known her and helped her xxx
