Hi all, thank you so much for all your kind words.
The cyclist was my beautiful cousin, Chrystelle Brown, she was 26 years old and simply loved cycling. Her accident has devasted our family, she was so full of life and vitality none of us can believe she is gone.
I have heard from you all that the junction is dangerous, I even have un unconfirmed story that she was the second cyclist to be killed there within a week. My sister and I are starting a campaign to have the junction made safer for cyclists and as soon as we have more information I will happily post it here for you all to see.
Chrystelle, you are so precious to us all. We will never forget you, or the joy you brought to everyone that knew you. I cannot begin to express how much we miss you. The house is filled with all your favourite people, popping in and out and drinking tea. You would love the crowd that have gathered to seek comfort. We laugh as much as we cry, you have given us so many funny stories it does not take us long to start smiling when we remember our time together. Poor mum has had the kettle on constantly and we seem to allways have a full teapot and no clean cups left.
Thank you for teaching me the real meaning of the phrase unconditional love, because that's what you truly gave me.
All my love, Kat xxx
