A Heywood woman has paid tribute to her brother and her father after they both died of Covid-19 just months apart.
In under a year, Suzanne Holden, of Heywood, has lost both her beloved brother and then her father to the disease – just days after the latter was evacuated from home due to a fire.
In May 2020, Suzanne unexpectedly found her brother, Alan, dead at his Fleetwood home.
A family devastated by a double coronavirus tragedy lost a brother and father in the space of seven months.
Suzanne Selby has paid tribute to her brother Alan, 47, and father Karl, 74, and pleaded with the public to take the threat of the virus seriously.
In May last year, Suzanne unexpectedly found her brother Alan dead at his home in Fleetwood, Lancashire.
He worked as a chef in a care home and had no underlying health conditions that his family were aware of.
