“Even though he wasn’t the best, he was still my husband and we were married for a significant amount of time.
‘I also feel that my children and grandchildren have lost their father and grandfather.
“It’s fortunate that the grandchildren are young enough that this incident doesn’t have an impact on them.”

‘I always try to keep myself busy because if I’m busy I’m not thinking about it.’
