Today, the family of Clair, 42, and Sam, 15, who tragically died in a car crash on Christmas Eve, paid tribute to them. They were a mother and son whose love for theatre, music, and their family was evident in all they did.
Clair was a kind and creative person who worked at the Bolton Theatre, supporting those facing mental health challenges. She enjoyed going to pottery class each week and could turn a lump of clay into whatever her heart desired.
The family remembers Sam as a music enthusiast. He was in Year 11 and looked forward to studying music in college. He often wore headphones around the house while listening to music and would also spend time playing on his computer.
Sam adored his family and was a loving brother and son. His absence will leave a permanent hole in their hearts. Celebrating Christmas without Sam and Clair will be extremely difficult for all who knew them.
The crash occurred at 4pm on Ripponden Road, Oldham, and a 13-year-old was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The man in the other car, aged 35, was arrested at the scene and remains in custody. PC Thomas Johnson has expressed his condolences to the family, and officers are providing them with support during this difficult time.
