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.

Nikki, you have nothing to apologise for !!!
The beauty of these pages is that we can come on here and chat to each other as if we were sitting around sharing a coffee (or a wine LoL). Doesn't matter what we need to talk about, there is always someone to listen to us
Take care of yourself

- Thank you x Hi Shirley I can see by your message that you understand. I thought I would have so many years left to spend with an amazing woman to everyone that ever had the pleasure to meet her. I'm feeling really ripped off that she was taken in such a way and on her only grandsons birthday. She was so special to William and I'm finding difficult to explain to him when he wakes up crying and wanting Nanny. I so wanted him to have Mum's beautiful, kind influence to guide him. I'm trying to come to terms with it but I can't look anywhere without something reminding me of her. I don't know how long it takes but the pieces feel like they are so out of reach and putting them together feels almost impossible. I'm sorry but I've just had to say exactly how I feel. I hope it doesn't upset you but thank you for kind messages. Nikki x

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.
