| DUCKETT. IN LOVE IT MAGAZINE LAST WEEK. MY DAUGHTER SAVED 6 LIVES. |
| I will never forget that awful phone call. ‘Katrina’s had a heart attack,’ said her former partner Danny.
I couldn’t take it in. Katrina was only 34 and fit and healthy. How could she have possibly had a heart attack. She was much too young.
But it certainly looked that way. She had collapsed at the bottom of the stairs, right infront of her ten year old son Lewis. |
