For some reason Claire that is just how I imagine you to be, caring and compassionate, if that ever happened to me I would like to think there would be someone like you at my side.

I don't think I had better say what I think about that women who tried to push past you it will only increase my blood pressure and it's on the high side already.

Claire - how nice you were there, you angel ..R.I.P x x

I saw an old gentleman carrying a carpet - and he was trying to navigate around some ice - I regret not asking my OH to pull over so I could help - we'd just had an argument though - not an excuse I know.

So sad but you were there for him to the end and that would have made a difference.

RIP

I find it so sad that you were the only person to step forward to help...but 'm so glad for his sake that you were on that bus.

Well done for doing what you could Claire.

RIP Gentleman.

How sad....... it was nice for him that you were there to hold his hand, Claire.

Some people can be so heartless, can't they?

Thanks - but I just wanted to mark his passing. People were willing to help but didn`t know what to do. I`d done a bit of first aid so I did, is all. The bus driver was in bits, poor man. We shed a few tears together after everyone had gone. Very sad.
Hug your loved ones. Every day.
