The news of her death had started to reach her shocked neighbours early yesterday morning. One said: "We heard that someone from Darndale had been involved in the accident. "Then at mass everyone was saying that someone had died and when we came home we discovered that it was Margaret. "I can't believe it. I was just in having tea with her a couple of days before the crash." Another distressed local said: "All I can tell you about her is that she was the kindest woman you could ever wish to meet. "Everyone is in shock - her daughter is still in hospital and we don't know how she is. We haven't been able to adjust to the situation, it's just so shocking. "Margaret was a lovely woman and it won't be the same without her." |
