The family of a 78-year-old woman who was killed when hit by a Scrambler on Queens Drive have paid tribute to her.
May Margaret Laidlaw was involved in a hit and run on Saturday evening at around 5pm when an Orange Scrambler bike was involved in a collision on Queens Drive.
A 14-year-old boy has since been charged in connection with the incident.
The family of May Margaret Laidlaw released a statement through Merseyside Police “On Saturday 2nd December 2017, our world came crashing down, May was taken from us, not because she was ready to go but simply because she was taken.
May was loved by many, she was a kind and caring wife, mum, nan, great nanny, sister, auntie and friend. She and her husband Tommy enjoyed 58 years of marriage together, recently those years consisted of a trip to Cyprus to see her first grandchild get married and a trip to the Isle of Wight, where she and Tommy loved spending time together.
Only recently she spoke about how her life has been filled with good and happy memories, which we will keep in our hearts forever, our memories, no one can take those away from us.
She was independent, healthy and had plans for the future, more weddings, parties, trips, more family time which she loved and most of all more happiness.
Now our hearts are broken and may never be truly mended, a huge part of our family taken too soon. But we know May will look over us all through this tough time. You will be missed so very much every single day and we will love you forever. Goodnight, God bless and now rest in perfect peace”.
