They both lost their children in 'unexpected' circumstances
Two Nottingham mums who turned a 'parent's worst nightmare' into a lifelong legacy have spoken out over their efforts to change society for good. For both Zoe Cooke and Aimee Wood, said losing their children was a shock and came as a "tragedy" that changed their lives forever.
Geary, 22, and Lewsley, 32, will serve a minimum of 25 years behind bars before being eligible for parole, while Masterson, 29, will serve a minimum of 26 years and Fairbrother, 26, a minimum of 27 years. The final blows were delivered by Fairbrother, who stabbed a kitchen knife through the heart of Mr Griffin.
"He was taken away from me, and my future was also taken away from me", she said. "Byron always wanted to be a dad and I could not wait to become a grandma. I am 48 now and I still do not have grandchildren." "I thought it was a scam at first", she added. She will attend the event in London alongside Aimee Wood, who was nominated in the Outstanding Commitment category.
"She was the joyous, vibrant character. Someone like her, being absent in the community was so noticeable.
