lee was a coach driver, he worked for his mum and dad driving for Howdens coaches in doncaster, he had a brother simon, and a beautiful dog called tess who he addored, he was a lovely caring guy, always had a smile on his face, he was a likable guy, I met lee four years earlier he was friends with my friend brother where we spent alot of time together having a laugh. Then a few years later i was out with one of my friend in doncaster drinking when we saw one another again, we exchange numbers and lee then rang me and we started dating, he was very caring just as i remember him a perfect gent, i knew he was the one. my mum & dad were celebrating there 25 wedding aniversary on 10th november , they were going to have a big party which was an ideal time to meet the rest of my family we had the party the following weekend it was perfect everyone loved lee, he came and stoped with me at my mum and dads we went to pets corner the following day to take some customers and had a lovely day together, Lee went away for a couple of day to Aire to take some customers i was unable to get time of as a care assistant so Lee went alone but rang me everday, telling me how much he missed me and vise verser. on the 20th november my mum & dad kissed me goodbye and left for Ireland for the weekend a pressi for there wedding anniversary. Lee rang and said that he was going to take some customers to sheffield arena, and did i want to go with him we could go on to meadowhall untill it was time to bring them back, great i thought i had nothing planned, i went to see my friend val and took the photos i had had developed from the party i was so happy and told her this, i rushed to get ready tring to look my best as you do. i went to meet lee at his parents house in moss at 5:00, i was showing Lee's mum & dad the photo's, Lee said he would look at them when we stopped ( he never got to see them), we left his mum & dad's at 5:15 we were both so happy chatting as lee drove i was sat in the courier seat up front. we drove down wakefield road ackworth just about to go under a low bridge when lee saw a lorry coming the other way, lee said "oh no". At 6:01 Lee was dead the lorry was to high for the bridge it collided with the coach. I was cut out of the coach 45 minutes later, still not knowing what had happen to my Lee i was taken to pontefract A&E, i was informed that Lee was trapped under 38 tonne of scrapped metal there was no way he would survive. My whole world fell apart we were planning on getting engaged on valentines day, his dog Tess came to live with me at my parents house, lee loved his dog she missed him so much, the in febuary this year Tess got cancer and fell to sleep, i have comfort knowing that she is with lee.

So Sorry
A message to Karen to say hello and to pass on my thoughts. I've just recently lost a good friend and now know how it feels. Hope everything goes well for you and it's a shame this world takes people away from us who we love and care for. Take care and look after yourself.
Sorry
I didnt know Lee or Karen but a lovely story that went so tragically wrong. My mum always said only the good die young - I believe this.
Its been 10 years since my mum passed away and people say it gets easier but sometimes I think - how?
Good Luck Karen with whatever the future holds for you - Lee will always be looking after you.
Thankyou for your message of supportand hope.My days continue to be dark at times and i really hope that one day there will be some peace from this devastation and some happiness again.Your story is so touching and you are a truly inspirational person. Lee will be shining upon you always. God Bless you x

Hope...
Firstly, I am so sorry for what you went through 8 years ago. Your story touched my heart.
Secondly, reading your tribute has given me some hope for the future; knowing that you can move on and love again after losing your soul mate. Every time the thought crosses my mind (even if it is just for a split second, as it is way too soon) I feel so guilty.
