It’s a tragedy what’s happened.
Rep: Can you tell us about the meal that you cooked?
EP:
I’m so, devastated by what’s happened, by the loss of Don and, Don is still in hospital, the loss of Ian and Heather and Gail who are some of the best people that I’ve ever met. Gail is like [cries]
Rep: Take your time.
EP:
Gail is the mum that I didn’t have because my mum passed away four years ago and Gail’s never been anything but good and kind to me and Ian and Heather were some of the best people I’ve ever met, they never did anything wrong to me and I’m so devastated about what’s happened.
Rep: Can you tell us...
EP:
And the loss to the community, and to the families and to my own children who’ve lost their grandmother.
Rep: Can you tell us a bit more about the lunch?
EP:
What I can tell you is that I just can’t fathom what has happened, I just can’t fathom what has happened, that Ian and Heather have lost their lives, and Gail has lost her life, and Don is still in hospital, and I pray, I pray that he pulls through, because my children love him.
Rep: And you must be pretty shaken up by this as well.
EP:
[looking up at the sky] I’m devastated, I loved them and I can’t believe that this has happened and I’m so sorry that they have lost their lives and I just can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it. [looks around and makes moves as if planning to walk]
