"It was very very difficult to take in what was happening. At this time I was clinging on to Christine's handbag"

The Story

Tom went to the Waterfront Hall with his sister Christine to hear the Ulster Orchestra. It was a Friday night and the mood was good. Without any prior warning, his sister felt ill and went outside. A very short time later Tom found himself grappling with the unbelievable fact that she had died in the foyer of the concert hall.
