Her husband told Today that he was grateful he was there when ‘she left us’
‘I was grateful that I was with her when she left us, and it was very peaceful and it was beautiful, and she was beautiful.
‘And we had the whole family come, and they have been here ever since. And we have been very upbeat about what’s going on.
‘There hasn’t been a grim moment. Every time I feel it coming on, I leave the room so I can be alone… but that’s life, I don’t know what else to do.’
Alan also paid tribute to the ‘amazing, amazing woman’ he was married to.
‘Aside from all of her accomplishments, she was an amazing wife and an amazing mother as well,’ he said.
‘She’s the one who pulled her family together. I didn’t do it. She did it. And she really knew what she was doing. So I will miss her.’
More to come.
