It was planned that they would retire together in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, in a beautiful bungalow before tragedy struck
A couple had been looking forward to retirement after dedicating their lives to giving vulnerable kids a second chance at life.
"It was actually Uche that had found her, he was six. He and Jaden just thought they couldn’t wake mummy up," explained grandmother Lynn on Monday night's DIY SOS. Traumatised Lynn went straight to Carrie's house, then went to get her grandsons, and there was no chance that they would live anywhere else but with their grandparents. With the family dealing with the unimaginable, they were dealt another cruel twist of fate just two days after Carrie died as Steve became redundant.
Ruben even kindly offered to find somewhere else to live so that his grandparents would not have the burden, but there was no doubt in their minds over whether he would stay.Ruben admitted he regretted not spending a lot of time with his mother when he became a teenager. The DIY SOS team were on hand to help this very deserving family back in 2019 - and there were a mixture of emotions when Lynn got the call to reveal they would be on the show. She was thrilled that it would make all their lives much easier, but it also felt like confirmation that Carrie was not coming back.
