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.

Hi Nikki, I hope you are starting to come to terms with the loss of your darling Mother. We know that one day those near and dear to us aren't going to be around forever but when they leave because of a needless tragedy it is harder still to accept.
I lost my Mum 5 years ago - she was 97 and ready to go but I wasn't ready to say goodbye. She was my best friend, I had known her for 59 years and how dare she leave me.
They say that time heals the pain but that's cold comfort to those left behind. Remmber your Mum with smiles, not tears .... I'm sure that is what she would want.
Take care ... Love Shirl x0x.

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.

We don't like to hear of those whose lives have been cut short and the bus accident in Tassie makes us realise that life is so precious.
My heart goes out to the families and friends of all involved ... may you find within yourselves the heart and strength to support the survivors and grieve for those lost.
My sincere condolances to all
Love Shirl x0x.
