Good Morning Paul and to everyone else, it's never a pleasant reality to know that someone has been killed in a car accident and in this situation, four police officers have lost their lives to the people they had once loved, and to those who are trying to work out why something like this could ever happen.
Any plausible explanation can never be justified, and my whole heartfelt condolences and sympathy go out to all the families and friends connected to each person and hope that you never lose the strong bond with each other in this most traumatic accident.
We would love to support and hear from you in how this affects you in any aspect.
My thoughts are with you.
Geoff.

Hi Paul, any family, friends and/or workmates will have a hole to try and fill and
there will moments when they feel they will be able to handle the situation but suddenly you need to talk with someone who will help you overcome this feeling.
Take care.
Geoff.

Hello Paul,
What a lovely post and initiative - I hope that all of these replies are going to offer some comfort.
I do wish that I could add something helpful, to take the pain away because it is a tragedy over a tragedy and nobody deserves this.
I want you to know that my thoughts are with you - now and later, when all of this quietens down over the media I'll still be thinking of you. I hope that you have some support around you and if not, I hope that you're able to reach out and be around people that you need.
