Cancer Council bus accident

All in Tasmanian are shocked by the news of the road accident yesterday involving the Cancer Council Travel 2 Treatment bus in which 3 patients died and 7 were injured.

They were returning from the Holman Clinic and a run away trailer hit the bus causing it to crash into a pole at Elizabeth Town, some 40 minutes west of Launceston on the Bass Highway.

So many are touched by this sadness.

We all send our heartfelt condolences to family, friends and health professionals and volunteers associated with each dear person.

    My Mum Lyn was one of the patients lost in the accident that should never have happened. 

    I came across this blog by accident and I'd like to thank all for their kind words.

    Our Mum was the most amazing mother and Grandmother we could have asked for and we miss her so very much.

    I hope that everyone going through their own troubled times has great success and lots of good times ahead.

    Many thanks

    Nikki

    It's such a total waste. Our hearts go out to all those affected, including the Cancer Council people who would know all of those folk so well and the staff at the Holman Cliic who become as your friends. They picked themselves up and carried on.

    It seems so unfair when you;re trying your hardest to beat a cruel disease, to have your life ended so senselessly.
