Sole survivor Ian Wilkinson, whose wife Heather, 66, died, said he felt only “half alive” without her.

Forgiven

The other victims were Heather's sister and brother-in-law Gail and Don Patterson, who were 70 and the parents of Erin’s estranged husband Simon. He decided not to attend the lunch in July 2023 at the last minute.
