<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">The October/November period of year 2000 was a particularly difficult one for </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">me and my family. We were just coming to terms with my Father’s death when we </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">were told of my daughters collapse!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Natalie died just two days later without regaining consciousness. She was just 22 years old and had two young children of her own, Lauren 3 and a half and Tom 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had not only our own pain to handle but also that of two young children too.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">We were put in touch with Edward’s Trust. Their support, care, advice and professionalism were invaluable in helping us cope with the enormity of the situation. I can honestly say we owe them a debt of gratitude. They not only helped us to deal with our sense of loss but guided us in managing the grief and shock of our two young Grandchildren.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Some ten years on now, we are all stronger, wiser, and now able to live with our loss. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 1.95pt 0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">It is now my turn to help Edward’s Trust.</span></p>
