Devastated mum’s heartache as ‘love of her life’ daughter, 26, dies leaving her two kids behind
A DEVASTATED mum today said she lost "the love of her life" after her 26-year-old daughter was killed in a three-car crash.
Sandra Estep, from Kings Langley, Herts., said her world "blew up" when she was told the unthinkable news that her only daughter had died on Tuesday.
Gracie Estep, 26, was the passenger in a car that collided with two other vehicles in Hemel Hempstead, Herts., earlier this week.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Sandra sobbed: "I just can’t get it in my head that I’m never going to see her again. Her poor two babies.
"It’s so tragic. I’m absolutely devastated. She only went to get KFC with her friend who is in intensive care still."
Gracie, who was a full-time mum to her children Alfie, 4 and Ruby, 3 has been praised by her loved ones for the dedication and love she showed them both.
"We've been so overwhelmed by the love that’s come our way, not one person has had a bad word to say about our Gracie."
"She was so loving, so caring. I’m really, really grateful she was mine. I want her back."
Hertfordshire Police are still urging people to come forward with information or dashcam footage of the crash. No arrests have been made currently.
Sergeant Tom Daly, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family of the young woman who sadly lost her life, and we are conducting extensive enquiries to determine the circumstances of the collision.
