While it was a difficult moment in time, Ms Turley said she was glad that at least it didn’t occur during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Thank god this didn’t happen during Covid,” she said. “Because how would we have coped? And you know the funeral would have been less than it should have been. “We were grateful I suppose in one way that it all happened then, and we were grateful in another way that daddy went first because he couldn’t have coped watching her die.” Her father passed away on March 29, 2018, in hospital, and her mother then also sadly died on May 21 in a hospice.
