My deepest sympathies, Kerr, to you and your family.

It's hard to find words, but of all the things a person can do, giving her life for her friend is the greatest of all. She left the world a better place for all of us.

Kerr - I can't know how you're feeling, but please accept my sympathies! I have two children of my own and I couldn't even contemplate would I'd do if something like this happened to one of mine. A brave thing you did posting this, I hope you can take some comfort from the postings. Best of luck mate, and I hope you are able to get over it somehow... :cry:

Kerr,
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I too have lost a daughter (over 20 years ago) in a RTA, so I do know what you and your family are going through, and my heart goes out to you.
She will never be forgotten, but time will be a great healer, only leaving fond memories.
Be Strong.

Kerr, I want to join everyone in giving my condolences. What a hammer blow. It would be excellent if we at UKTS can come together even during all the troubles and adversity on the forums to give a token of our sorrow.

To Kerr, I am so sorry to read of the loss of your daughter. As a family man myself the sorrow and loss you and your family must be feeling I cannot comprehend - as a Traffic Police Officer for the past 26 years I have seen far too many of these tragic losses through these very circumstances and it absolutely tears my heart out every time. It is not just the loss it is also the suffering by those left behind and the unanswered questions like "Why". I am very much thinking of you and your family at this time - please accept my heartfelt condolences.

I recently lost my Grandad, I know part of what you feel.
However, you did say she saved her friends life, it is said that by doing that it is instant entry to heven, she'll be up there.

My deepest regrets, and I hope all turns out well,

Adding my name to everyone elses condolences, I just can't fathom what you must be feeling at the moment - my son is only 19 months and I just couldn't cope losing him.
