Louise Hughes says she will never forget the warmth and care shown to her as she was married and widowed in just a few short weeks.
The 29-year-old former nursery nurse married heart transplant patient Dave, 32, in hospital but after just a few weeks together she had to endure him passing away.
At every step of the way, organ transplant nurses made his journey as easy as possible. On the day of the wedding, they laid out tealights to create an aisle – and got a cake too – while in his final hours, they wheeled in a DVD player so the family could watch their little boy George’s favourite film, The Lion King.
