much loved mam, dad and brothers to Macauley.

******************************************

Paula and Neil had just got engaged and were traveling to Blackburn to visit Neils family to arrange
a double wedding with his brother Paul and his partner.
They had their three boys with them, Macauley aged 8, Trystan aged 3 and baby Kaiden aged 7 months.
Tragically, they never arrived.
A transit van clipped their car, causing it to spin out of control and hit the trees.
Only Macauley survived the crash, it was a miracle he got out of the car alive.
He was taken to James Cook hospital and all he kept saying was i wish i hadnt lost my family.
It was heartbreaking.

Macauley was well enough to attend his familys funeral.
Seeing those 4 white coffins would have broken anyones heart.
Over 200 people attended. the service and music was touching and very moving.
It was a beautiful send off for a beautiful family.

Paula, Neil and the boys were a very happy family, and we will never forget them.
So tragically taken too soon by a careless driver.

A 22 year old man appeared at Teeside crown court on 2nd November and was jailed for 7 years.
Not enough to replace the lives of those he robbed.
