00:00Hazel Stewart is back in court, launching a fresh appeal against her conviction.
00:13Claiming new evidence has emerged.
00:17Hazel Stewart was convicted alongside her former lover, Colin Hoyle.
00:21Both are now serving life sentences for their crimes.
00:26More than three decades after a notorious double murder that stunned Northern Ireland,
00:31Hazel Stewart is back in the headlines.
00:35There are always one or two cases that you remember,
00:38even though you're dealing with dozens and dozens of murders.
00:42And this certainly is one of them.
00:46This businessman, Colin Hoyle, had come forward to admit his part in a double murder.
00:53We got Colin Hoyle to put his confessions on tape.
01:01It was like having a secret with somebody, but it was a very deep secret, a deep dark secret.
01:09This case absolutely has a notoriety like no other.
01:13Some might describe him as a celebrity dentist.
01:16He was a pillar of the community.
01:18The story that I was hearing was that Colin and Hazel were having an affair.
01:22He believed that he could kill his wife and kill Trevor Buchanan,
01:26and that somehow he and Hazel would live happily ever after.
01:30Anybody who has an affair will always think they'd be better off without their partner.
01:36At what point do you suggest to your lover, maybe we could kill them?
01:42For 18 years, I believed that my mum died in a suicide pact.
01:49It turned out that my dad and Hazel had actually killed her.
01:53When we heard the details, we were horrified at what had happened.
01:57We have never spoken about the loss and the impact on us as children until now.
02:06This is a shocking account of what I did.
02:09BY ELLY
02:18They are young.
02:19They are young.
02:23They are young.
02:25They are young.
02:27They are young.
02:30They are young.
02:31They are young.
02:32They are young.
02:34Oh dear, what are we doing to you?
02:36When you think of it, he is so big waiting for me,
02:38so big really when you look that's the first time i've heard her voice yeah actually like
02:43and i don't think i've ever seen a video of her so yeah anything uh he was all inside
02:51i still don't know as much as i wish i did about my mum two weeks old today why
03:01how do you feel watching that like quite precious like she didn't have a chance to
03:04give me a lot because of the time but she she gave me a lot
03:10i just grew up knowing that mum committed suicide
03:24it was sunday may 19 1991 when i got the phone call from corian police station to tell me that
03:37two bodies had been found in castle rock when i attend the scene
03:44just before i left the house i got another phone call it was one of the constables saying
03:48uh just giving you a heads up that it's trevor mcannon
03:54trevor was a co-worker he was constable in the place he's always a nice person
04:02and i don't think there's anyone who would have a bad word to say about trevor
04:07i just felt sick i never had to process a scene where i knew the person
04:12so i drove over to the scene in castle rock
04:20i walked through the back of the the premises and went out there was like a laneway at the back
04:25the garage was detached from the house and went over to the garage
04:28and opened the garage door
04:36there was carbon monoxide smell and could see the car and the car was facing outwards
04:43as if it had been reversed into the garage
04:47and then as i walked over then i could see trevor lying in the driver's seat
04:51and they said there were two bodies then i got to the rear vehicle and i could see leslie lying in
04:59the back of the vehicle
05:03i was in total shock and i didn't want to be there and i remember asking the superintendent if
05:09you could get somebody else to come and examine the scene
05:14i mean the whole thing was horrific and it haunted me
05:21in 1991 i was a reporter in the local newspaper leslie and trevor's deaths were very sad and tragic
05:31trevor was a very good doting father leslie was the mother of four young children under the age of six
05:39i would say the deaths around that time was there was probably a lot of mystery surrounding it
05:45but it was a backstory that really nobody knew
05:51it was a very beautiful girl with lovely dark curly hair brilliant smile and just such a warm open
06:00nature that we all warmed to immediately
06:05she just was a very caring person and i suppose really a lot of what connected us was really our
06:12faith as well she was a christian and i think people had this idea that christians don't have fun but we
06:19enjoyed ourselves and great laughs together
06:29leslie was lying in a peaceful position in the back of the vehicle
06:33with photographs around her and headphones on that she'd been listening to a tape
06:38i could also see then that the there was a hose pipe attached to the exhaust
06:48and then put through the car so that the carbon dioxide would have been going through the car
06:52colin and leslie started connect together about 81 82 they were married in 83 i was a bridesmaid
07:10after they got married colin got a position as a junior dentist up in coleraine
07:15i'm pleased that while i took photographs my father colin howell and my brother leslie had four children
07:28the eldest was my brother matthew then my sister lauren is two years older than me
07:33daniel james howell my mom was as a mother just so devoted was that sort of real gentle kind of
07:48approach to parenting but at the same time she made it fun she made it worthwhile even in the smallest
07:54things yep my father with little kids like in many ways he was uh great he would sing songs with us
08:08we'd play games together we'd go to camping trips together
08:14the church was so central in our lives
08:18and the buchanan family went to our church they were part of the church family
08:29i saw trevor lying in the driver's seat his right leg was lying out of the vehicle
08:37and the car door was open and it was also the window was also down slightly
08:42and i thought this is very strange has somebody opened the door
08:47and i thought it was very strange and i thought it was very strange
08:52well trevor he met hazel i believe in a small shop outside derry and they began to date
08:58and they too married moved to corean and they had two children
09:03we worked in the same branch within the police so we became friends through work
09:09and he was the sort of people that you would like to be your friend and he was the sort of man that
09:13you would aspire to be hazel it was never very warm in my opinion she would never invite you in
09:20and certainly wouldn't give the impression that she was glad to see you maybe the opposite
09:32we were treating the scene as a suicide we got the bodies moved and the car moved it was all done
09:38very very quickly they didn't want residents to see what was going on as well people knew the families
09:45involved and knew the children and were concerned about the children and and how they were going to
09:50accept it as well
09:51the 19th of may was the day after my brother daniel's birthday he had just turned two it was a beautiful
10:09sunny day my brother daniel had got a blue slide for his birthday and we were all playing on it
10:16and i remember asking where my mom was she was out of the house and that wasn't a very common thing
10:26it was three or four men from the church sitting on the patio talking with my dad
10:31and i got a sense that it was a bit serious and at one point matthew and i were called into the dining room
10:40and told that our mum had gone to heaven
10:52and that she wouldn't be coming back um
10:57and um i don't know if i really grasped that i don't know if you can as a four-year-old
11:03but even though i probably didn't i felt lost and i didn't know what it meant but i also knew it wasn't good
11:23colin rang me up and he told me leslie had died and then he said it looks like suicide
11:30he was very factual he was very clear but he was very cold and i thought this is shell shock
11:40this is a guy with four young kids and he's wondering what to do he's just not coping
11:47i remember people coming to the house and then the whole process of faking the surprise to people
12:00to the church people to family and receiving sympathy and support when i was the perpetrator
12:09it just gets more shocking all the time
12:11it was a sunday evening got a phone call did you hear about trevor i was just gobsmacked could not
12:23believe it like a sledgehammer just shocking the facts that trevor had died in tragic circumstances
12:34and then the fact there was leslie a woman there as well which we knew nothing about
12:39i saw her on the tuesday before she died you kind of begin to doubt yourself and think did i
12:46miss something that i should have picked up on there was something that never quite made sense
12:52i was questioning things from the very beginning the whole scene didn't look right to me
12:57i just didn't know but i just had this feeling that he was not committing suicide
13:02it wasn't as if everybody accepted this version that leslie and trevor had died in this bizarre
13:08suicide pact there were misgivings
13:14something not right here
13:23i asked my father if suicide is a sin and that's the last thing you do before you go on to heaven
13:35or hell i remember being very worried that she had gone to hell
13:42the reality that i always grew up with was that my mom had killed herself on the night of my second
13:47birthday because she was feeling sad i was always told that she had died from car fumes
13:56my whole childhood i was terrified when i would walk behind a car i thought that that you could
14:00just accidentally breathe in a little bit of car fumes and potentially die
14:08leslie and trevor these two people have been found tragically in leslie's father's
14:13garage in castle rock and that looked as if they had come together and committed suicide
14:21northern iron was a very very dark and dangerous place to live back then
14:25so every day there were bombings and shootings and people dying it was mayhem
14:30and that really consumed the diet of the headlines at the time
14:37leslie and trevor's desk they kind of flew under the radar and they were looked at as a domestic
14:42tragedy but there certainly was shock a major shock in the community and of course whenever
14:49you've got a vacuum of information people start to kind of gossip and speculate as to what happened
14:57the story that i was hearing was that colin and hazel were having an affair
15:02the affair began in the autumn of 1990 they would sleep together in hazel's house when trevor was at work
15:09they would meet in parks and beaches and forests i think she was enamored by his confidence
15:18by a success you know this was somebody who not only was successful professionally but was seen as
15:25somebody who was hugely respected in the church
15:27the fact that he was climbing in over the fence at night and calling at the house when trevor was
15:35away and really stuff that was sorted trevor had invested a lot in hazel loved her very much
15:45in his case he must have been humiliated beyond belief
15:49so leslie at that time confirmed that colin was having an ongoing affair with hazel she says it's
15:58like a knife that goes into your stomach the pain never goes away she had taken an overdose of paracetamol
16:06and had said that was a foolish step and she was not going to repeat it again
16:10it was more of a cry for help than a real genuine suicide attempt
16:20at that point in my heart i realized that if she had died things for me might be better and the
16:27concept of murder was was planted in my in my mind i would suggest that anybody who has an affair
16:35will always think they'd be better off without their partner i do believe the thoughts of murder
16:40are immediately connected to that the elders in the baptist church had tried to counsel the four of
16:50them really exploring separation might have been a more realistic option i don't think the behavior
16:57of the coleraine baptist church was good it seemed to be that they were finishing the affair but it
17:05became obvious that that was not the case trevor was getting depressed and leslie was depressed
17:15and that that's what led to a suicide pact and that was for the story that everybody was really
17:21talking about in coleraine it was a scarcely believable story but still believable at the same time
17:27that the two innocent parties have been so heartbroken that they just didn't want to live any longer
17:35that morning i showed up at the inquest it was completely packed
17:50those who were sitting in the inquest that day they were really privy to you know the dirty laundry
17:56being aired in public colin and hazel sitting in like the witness box both of them admitted to having an
18:04affair colin found a note a suspicious note that looked like a suicide note dear colin i'm just
18:17trying to go to sleep now for how long for i don't know and this is why he was so concerned why leslie was
18:25missing if i wake up in the morning just let this be your secret leslie
18:33at the end of the inquest the coroner ruled that the two couples had been completely inconsolable
18:41so the clear implication was that they had come together in some kind of bizarre suicide pact
18:49the note was put out as a suicide note but what the note actually was was it was more more of a
18:56depressive sort of note i came across it accidentally amongst her stuff
19:04this affair and everything else and how that i thought would have made him feel humiliation would
19:11have been my word and i was willing and did accept that it was suicide
19:16if she didn't commit suicide what's the alternative and basically my mind just refused to go there
19:28i was very angry the affair had led to the death of my sister
19:33the official line that colin was pushing was that the affair was over
19:37colin's trying to rebuild his life with the children the only thing i did offer was just
19:48a meal for them now and again but other than that i'd really had no contact really with them at all
19:56well i think i assumed that the affair was continuing on and hazel was now they take on the mother role
20:02i adored hazel and so i remember i would like go in with like flowers or a bowl of fruit and like
20:13seeing a wedding song as like colin and hazel were lying on the couch together being like when are you
20:17going to get married when are you going to be my mummy a frequent prayer that we would all pray for
20:25was that we would get a new mum i remember that we would do girly things with her that i wasn't able
20:33to do you know with my dad and brothers and so i sort of gravitated towards that and really
20:38just really loved that um time and then i just remember one sunday hazel and colin broke up
20:50in around 96. and i was so very upset my dad explicitly told me that we wouldn't be seeing hazel
20:58anymore i remember being devastated because i wanted a mom uh i felt like so much closeness to her
21:05uh and then like i lost her i missed her and i used to think when i'm older i'm going to reach out
21:12to hazel and she'll be so happy to see me colin howell became a very successful dentist he had used
21:27the money of my mother's inheritance to fix his financial problems in his dental practice and then
21:31had a booming dental practice some might describe him as a celebrity dentist he had some high profile
21:39clients his dental career was in the ascendancy and he would have been seen as pillar of the community
21:46colin howell he remarried and he had moved house with kyle his wife
21:53kyle came to be my step-mom she had two children from a previous relationship and then they went on to
21:59have five children together when we were like growing up together in this new family that the
22:06lord had given us our mom was not a topic of conversation it was just like a dirty word
22:12on the few rare occasions that we would talk about my mom she was referred to as leslie there was no
22:18pictures of her quite quickly my mom was almost forgotten religion was an enormous part of growing up
22:29she had a lot of children but this was not a household of love
22:36the principal idea was that their role as parents is to implement discipline
22:43you're good if you're with us because god speaks to us and then we'll we'll tell you what's right
22:48that was a very effective way of making me want to be compliant and
22:53be a good christian and a good son
22:58control was a big part of it the physical discipline was physical abuse
23:05i saw true violence in my father what i now understand to be true child abuse
23:11he really had this good image in the community very successful i saw like how he interacted with
23:18like those in the church and then i saw how he was in the home age of 10 onwards i always saw my father
23:24as a fraud what came next was completely unimaginable
23:38in january 2009 howell was going through an existential crisis his life was in total meltdown
23:47he basically felt that death and misfortune followed him everywhere
23:52the thing that triggered that most was when matthew fell from a stairwell in russia
23:56my brother matthew had gone to study abroad in russia and one morning i got a call from home um to let me know
24:08that matthew had died very tragically and very suddenly at the age of 22.
24:17matt's death was for sure the most traumatic
24:21thing and that i had experienced in my life
24:27colin howell blamed himself for that he once said to me he brought death into the family
24:33and therefore god had punished him by killing my brother
24:37in december of 2008 my father had just come back from a trip to the philippines
24:43he told us that he had been investing all of his money or a lot of it in this scheme where they
24:50were trying to get gold he had invested over 353 000 pounds and trying to find gold he had been scammed
25:00and he's just throwing like everything he had into it bankrupting everything crazy decision making
25:05over the christmas break my dad took daniel and i out to a chinese restaurant in corin he proceeded to
25:15tell us that he had this realization that he needed to come clean and he said it's happened again like
25:22i've i've fallen short of the lord and i've cheated on kyle how could you do that again the last time you
25:28did that it led to our mom killing herself kyle had banished him to live in a caravan park just didn't
25:40respect him anymore a lot of his life was crumbling and the only thing that he thought he could do
25:48you know to escape eternal damnation he had to make peace with god by owning up and divesting his
25:54soul of all the sins that he had committed down the years
26:1029th of january 2009 well look that's a day i'll never forget you know i got a call shortly after
26:17lunch time from a very good police contact and his first words to me were david are you sitting down
26:26well i says yeah what what is it and he said well look colin howell has just walked in the corean
26:31police station and confessed to murdering his wife leslie and trevor becannon
26:38so when we got the call about colin howell confessing to a double murder we took our team to corean
26:45here we had the uniqueness of a case where we have a suspect in the station confessing to a murder some
26:5420 years ago it was more unusual with the fact that he was confessing to a murder that the police had
27:02investigated and it was put down as a double suicide there was a lot of talk in the station about it
27:10we had to ensure that colin howell was being truthful in respect of what he was telling us we had to
27:19probe that account colin howell's interviews with the police were one long monologue he set out in very
27:29clear terms that he had killed his wife and trevor when we heard the details we were horrified at what
27:37had happened we got colin howell to put his confessions on tape
27:50it was like having a secret with somebody but it was a very deep secret a deep dark secret
28:00like a fantasy world where i could do anything and so i probably believed i could do anything
28:13that saturday was the birthday of his two-year-old son daniel and while they were preparing birthday
28:19celebrations colin was planning to kill the mother of his children
28:23that night she had been drinking wine when he got leslie in a state on the sofa and colin seen the
28:33opportunity to kill her
28:37i started to cure and i brought the pipe in and put it up against leslie's face while she slept deeply
28:45i saw her begin to stir and when she aroused she called out matthew my son's name
28:58i ran in and covered her head with the diva i sat on top of her and held her there while she took two or
29:06three breaths until she died there was a struggle where leslie woke up and colin had to hold her down
29:16to make sure that he actually killed her i physically carried her to the car
29:24i ran down to the children's bedrooms and checked that everything was quiet and everyone was asleep
29:32he made a phone call to hazel in her home i told hazel i'm finished with leslie i'll be round is the
29:39car out of the garage and she said yes i said is trevor sleeping and she said yes he drove his car up
29:48landed at hazel's hazel had already opened the garage in her own house at her house took the hose pipe out
29:57trevor was asleep in his bedroom i put the pipe up beside him while he slept he awakened even though
30:07he was sedated i jumped across onto him with an attempt to trap his arms but he rolled off the bed
30:17with the right hand i had the hose pipe right up and placed it between his teeth
30:22and then with my other hand i was able to pull the quilt over his head and trap his arms i was able
30:31to control him and kept the hose pipe under the quilt colin actually relates that trevor's eyes
30:38were open and stared at him and to think that trevor actually saw his killer killing him in his own
30:46bedroom colin used extreme violence to hold trevor down to make sure that the fumes killed him and
30:54within a minute or so trevor was dead
31:00hazel was in another bedroom and waited for trevor to die
31:05so howell then put trevor into the car with leslie and on the way out to leslie's father's house we went
31:12then on to castle rock to the garage at the back of leslie's father's house where he set this death
31:18scene i lifted trevor's body from the boot into the driver's seat and set it there i couldn't get him
31:27right in his leg was partly out the door that's just the way he fell and and he was kind of stuck there
31:36for leslie i put earphones on she had a sony walkman and switched it on to make it appear she died
31:44listening to music there being an old broken hoover in the car i again just hooked that up to look like
31:52it being piped in i then started the engine
31:56left the garage ran down the beach and jogged along the beach i got my bike and cycled home
32:08the day that i found out a lot of the elders from our church were there and they said he had
32:23murdered my mum and uh trevor buchanan
32:27i physically fell on the floor cold blood ran through my body and i was so angry
32:37yeah one i needed tissue and maybe a wee break just felt like chaos inside
32:51i just didn't and will never understand i i can barely put it into words you know it's kind of like
33:00it kind of felt like my whole life was deconstructed i remember the shock i actually remember thinking
33:10god you know that makes that makes sense
33:16it's the children and it's the deception that he put them through for 19 years
33:21it's just almost unforgivable
33:34it's that room
33:38that's the room
33:41like how can he stand there
33:43actually it would have been one of those sofas
33:55that's the room where he had murdered her
34:02it's kind of surreal uh to see that uh to see us in the space of such uh
34:09an evil and cruel act and in a space that has had such an impact on my life going forward
34:21my feelings towards colin are
34:25i despise him i absolutely despise him um and i wish him harm
34:32i met with hazel i told her the plan she did obviously cooperate that can't be denied
34:40when he implicated hazel i i couldn't believe it i was flabbergasted
34:47i just couldn't believe that she could do something like that
34:51and we quickly made a decision that hazel stuart needed to be arrested as soon as possible
34:57there was this fear that if she was not arrested quickly and she had heard that colin howell had
35:05confessed to police about her involvement i was the mastermind behind the plot and the plan
35:11it could not have happened without her cooperation she didn't say no there was no objection to be
35:18being there we were fearful that she could do your honor
35:31well after howell was arrested and made the confession that morning and implicated hazel
35:36in this double murder police went out to her house and ironically she wasn't in the house she was at the
35:43dentist but when she arrived back they said that we were arresting a suspicion of the two murders
35:51this was her worst nightmare hazel had kept this deep dark secret for 18 years
36:02i was tasked with the role of interviewing hazel buchanan
36:06she seemed to be a happily married woman 46 years of age dressed well and enjoying life and was mixing
36:16well within the community she had remarried to a mr stuart a retired police officer
36:24going into the first interview and seeing hazel looking really shocked she was pale she was in disbelief as
36:33to what was happening she said he had no idea why colin was coming up to her house that night
36:41she said she was terrified she didn't know what was happening she stated she didn't take any part in
36:46it she didn't want any part in it and this was all colin's fault he did this you know he he's twisted
36:53he is he's calculating it was a vague account there were key parts of her account missing that we knew we
37:02had to obtain and what colin was telling us appeared to be truthful
37:10hazel portrayed herself as being soft and vulnerable and weak
37:15powell was clearly manipulative
37:21throughout the interviews she remained very quiet very sad looking and she was very careful in what she
37:28was telling us
37:30no i'm telling you i was not in that time i did not know what he was coming to do
37:43we could see clearly that hazel began to give in and she began to tell the truth
37:51bit by bit he said to me the only way that we could ever be together is that if i
38:00the third day of interviews so she actually changed her account in respect of her participation
38:07she just talked freely then and told us exactly what had happened
38:12she agreed to the plan that was discussed by colin
38:24she agreed that it was going to be that saturday night
38:29she made colin aware that trevor was at home
38:32she made colin aware that he had taken a tablet
38:38he he had said himself that he couldn't sleep
38:41yes
38:42and then he said why don't you take something she had left trevor's car out in the driveway
38:47so that colin could drive into the garage to allow him to proceed with the horse pipe
38:53and as soon as that struggle finished and trevor was confirmed as dead got his clothes
38:59and allowed colin to dress him and drag him down the hallway into the boot of his car
39:05along with his wife leslie
39:12detectives got her to admit that she had burnt the hose
39:16she had opened the windows of the bedroom and she had washed the sheets
39:23colin howell could not have done this on his own and you could not have done it on your own hazel
39:29this had to be a joint enterprise between the two of you
39:33the two of you had to work together to make this clan come to fruition do you accept that
39:41sorry yes yes okay
39:44she let the murder weapon into the house howell was the murder weapon
39:56i could have stopped it i could have stopped
40:00hazel showed no remorse at all in relation to what she was there for
40:04it was all about poor me my life has now come to an end
40:08i felt that trevor was always in the background waiting for us to find the truth and that he could
40:16now rest in peace because now we know what really did happen to him trevor didn't abandon his family
40:21didn't abandon his children at what point do you suggest to your lover maybe we could kill them i just
40:33and that's an answer i'll never
40:34get
40:43after my dad confessed he was sentenced to 21 years in prison
40:50attended colin's sentencing in the dock he was very diminished and nasty enough to think that was
40:57good hazel pleaded not guilty she would face the full glare of a brown court trial
41:03there was a huge public interest in this trial hazel was on bail every day she would drive to the
41:13court and she would come in on her husband's arm howell was the star witness for the prosecution
41:20but howell insisted hazel was the perfect accomplice and that by the end of that meeting she wasn't
41:26confused about what the outcome would be and what she should do howell will continue giving evidence
41:32tomorrow and he likened it to the two of them waltzing together he says yeah okay i was the lead partner
41:40he says but believe you me hazel danced along beside me in perfect harmony unwillingly
41:50at the end of 15 days the jury of nine men and three women find her guilty
41:58hazel stuart was sent to prison in 2011 for a minimum of 18 years
42:02hazel to me is a cold calculating self-centered
42:12bitch the fact that she committed the murder in the first place is reprehensible
42:20and she does come across as being in her own mind a victim and in so doing the real victims are totally
42:27and utterly shunned on one side the motive behind their decision to murder is unfathomable
42:40rather than have his own reputation tarnished by leaving his wife for another woman
42:46he would rather violently murder two people and hide it in a twisted world
42:54i tend to refer to him as colin i don't know what it means to forgive him when he
43:06chose to murder my mother he in my view he abdicated from his from his role as a father
43:12i don't consider him my father i never should have been raised by him uh i should have been raised by
43:21my mother my whole identity kind of like got caught up being like the killer son i was working as like
43:29a local doctor in london and uh i called my name and heard my accent it was like oh my god you're uh
43:35your uh colin hoyle son the crazy dentist killer and and it's always too much and i felt like
43:42like i want to be my own person i want to have my own identity really like the me and driver why
43:48i decided to like move over to new york we're realizing this horrible truth the years and decades
43:56actually of lies that were told knowing how that had actually impacted me hazel stuart is serving a
44:10minimum of 18 years for killing her husband and leslie hollow last month she sought to mount a fresh
44:18bid for an earlier release from jail with her barrister saying new evidence had come to like hazel
44:24stuart has appealed three times her most recent attempt at an appeal happened in 2025
44:37i've just arrived in belfast i've come home to attend yet another appeal orchestrated by hazel
44:44stuart i feel full of dread and fear and anticipation
44:54i think it's just disappointing it's not taking accountability and it's not honoring the life of
45:00my mum and trevor uh by failing to own up to your role the court found no merit in the appeal and hazel
45:09stuart's sentence remains unaltered at some point she just has to accept this and stop dragging us
45:19through this it's it's enough she will be eligible for parole soon um she will get out i have a life
45:27sentence i will never get my mum back my mum will never walk through the door
45:39i changed my last name from howell to clark it was important for me to honor my mum
45:47you know i want to pass on her last name
45:49by all the country was an amazing woman and i'm so blessed to have had it for the two years that i did
45:58my mum is still so much part of my life the short years that we had together i feel like she taught
46:04me so much in terms of leslie and the children she would be so proud to have done well in their careers
