As surreal and painful as it is to have to write these words, it is now our family duty to turn our full attention to the two beautiful children left behind and caught up in this total tragedy.

The support and love we have received from Simone's close friends, colleagues and the wider community has been amazing, we are truly warmed by the love and sympathy you have shown.

We have already received various donations for which we are so grateful with many more asking how to donate.

Although we are a family lost in grief and in the depths of our deepest despair, we must now do all we can to help secure the future for the children.

Your continued support is gratefully received by all the family x
