Village in Shock

[albaqwerty]

Can't find a suitable category for this. My apologies.

The 8 year old who was killed yesterday in our village is the younger sister of the older alba's schoolfriend. I know the mother. Mr Alba knows the father and his brothers. A friend of mine witnessed the accident and saw nasty stuff.

Result of an argument with a bus. Poor soul died out-right. Mum's heavily pregnant and in hospital under sedation. :-(

Very very sad.

My thoughts go out to all touched by this tragedy.

[Lie-in King]

How very sad, alba - my condolences to everyone.

sorry to hear this news of yours, always such a tragedy with someone so young. How's your daughter......

So very sad. Was that the accident in Elderslie/Johnstone Alba? There was an 8 year old girl who was killed by a bus there on Tuesday. So sad :(

[Smowball]

Jesus thats just dreadful. Cant imagine what the family is going through.

[Kiki-frog]

Horrific. Those poor parents. Can't put into words how shocking I find this.

So very sad. Have you a link?

[albaqwerty]

Sorry for delay in getting back.

Yes Voddie, it was.

TRT, I'm hopeless at doing links but it was in yesterday's Daily Record and Paisley Daily Express (front page). A touching tribute in today's paper and the friends are being encouraged to deal with it in their own way and school has counsellors available to them and their parents.

Flowers and card laid earlier this afternoon. You were all given a mention but not individually or identifiable.

So sad alba, I was brought up in a wee village nearby so I know the area well. Can't imagine what her poor parents are going through. :(
