On Tuesday afternoon, Wendy, Mike Tullett's wife, was killed in a car
crash. He had waved her off in the morning, spoken to her at lunchtime
and then again just before she left her meeting in Belfast to make the
return journey. Just a few miles from home, she was involved in a
head-on collision. A small comfort is that it would have been instant.
He is together with his family and Wendy will be buried on Saturday at
noon.

Very sad news indeed. I can't begin to imagine the effect on Mike and
his family.

It is strange that it gives me a feeling almost of having lost a member
of the family even though I know Mike only as a poster to this
newsgroup. It seems much more personal than, say, the death of someone
at the golf club. This emphasises how much of a "community" u.s.w. has
become.
