Re: Hovis RIP
Lily, we're all sending you guys love from here. I'm with Stretchie, Squirrel, Mac99 and Anna and we heard the news the same time as Lily and Drew. I did not expect this unbelievable news when I was calling hospitals and Police stations. He should be here with us now and this is just such a massive shock to us all.
We are devstated and send all our love to his family. Rest in peace Dave, we loved you and we'll miss you xxx

Re: Hovis RIP
We got a call on Hovis' phone from James, a family friend, as I'd been trying to ring and text him. He was due at our house hours ago.
He said it may be of little/no consolation but the police and ambulance crews said that at least the accident was instantaneous and he wouldn't have suffered. I said we are from the forum and James kept my number and said he'll be in touch with funeral arrangements as soon as they know.
