Vale Erin O'Connor

I don't know if this belongs on the main Blues board, but I thought it deserved to be here. Mr M Ockerts posted it in the Northern Blues thread but I don't know how many people would see it there.

Northern Blues physiotherapist Erin O'Connor has passed away five days after being hit by a car. She was only 32. She was highly regarded and much loved by the club.

Her younger brother Eamonn, 19, also died earlier this year in a tragic accident. He had trained with the Northern Blues in 2012.

What a terrible year for the family and I can't imagine what their Christmas will be like.

Erin was also equally highly regarded by the Prahran Cricket Club.

What an unbelievable disaster for that family. So ****ing young. So ****ing unfair.

My wishes to the O'Connors.

PS A hit-run by the sound of it. Scum like that should be locked up for 50 years.

Respect to the Carlton Football club, this is an unbelievable tragedy which has rocked our small community, it was a hit and run, Police have not found the person responsible yet.

They must feel cursed, this is just unbelievably bad luck.

Tragic, just awful, thoughts are with the family.

How very painful and tragic, our heart felt thoughts are with the family.

 

[Monkey King]

My heart wrenches for the family and to the young souls themselves who didn't get to see out a full life.

It's just so sad.

This is the one from in the week where she may have been lying on the road before she got hit

As I said in the other thread, I can't fathom what this family is going through. I don't know how you would cope with something like this.
