Just copied this over from the other thread as realised that no-one would probably see it there.
Just wanted to say that Ken's widow, Chris, phoned me last night. It was a bit of a shock but I am so glad she called. She wanted to express her gratitude to John and I for stopping and helping. She said that we tried so hard to help him and it was such a comfort to her. We talked for ages and she has our address as she wants to keep in touch. She is lovely and it's remarkable how well she sounds considering what she's been through this past week. One note of comfort. There was a post mortem conducted and she was informed that Ken had a massive heart attack and his left ventricle just completely stopped. She was told that he died in her arms in the car, before any of us even tried to resuscitate him and there was nothing anyone could have done for him. I can at least now stop going over it in my head and wondering if we could have done more. We stood no hope of reviving him.
Anyway......I just want to say again......thank you guys for your support. You've been amazing. I know the events of last Sunday will stay with me forever but her call has made such a difference.
