Woman, 28, dies in horror crash, as devastated boyfriend reveals he was about to propose
A WOMAN has died in a horror crash as her devastated boyfriend revealed he was about to propose.
Greg Peters said the last thing his partner Anna Ledgar said to him was "I love you".
The gym instructor, 28, was driving to work at Macclesfield FC on Monday when she was involved in a crash between Uttoxeter and Rocester in Staffordshire.
Emergency services closed the road for six hours and Miss Ledgar was rushed to hospital where she sadly died the day after with Mr Peters at her side.
The pair - who met online during the first lockdown - were given a blessing by a vicar at the hospital before Miss Ledgar's death.
"I remember it so clearly. I came in just before I was leaving, kissed her on the forehead and said 'goodbye, I love you'. She said 'I love you' back.
"As I was walking out, she lifted her head, turned to me all sleepy eyed and reached out to me, asking for my hand back.
"So when Anna was lying there in the hospital bed, it was breaking me that I couldn't marry her and make her my wife; give her the wedding day she really wanted.
"When I explained my plans to a nurse she said 'we can get a vicar to give you a blessing of your relationship', which was amazing. The lift that it gave me was amazing.
"It could never be a legal wedding or anything like that, but for me to be able to give Anna my nan's engagement ring and slide it onto her finger, to me, she's now my wife even if it's not officially legal.
"It was a special moment in my life. I just hope she could hear us and hear our song that we played through my phone."
Anna's family only recently discovered she was on the organ donor register - a move that has already helped six patients in the last few days.
Greg added: "Never ever miss that kiss, that cuddle and saying I love you to the ones you live.
"If I hadn't have said that to Anna, I'd be in such a deeper and nastier place in my head right now, but knowing that every day she knew I loved her and she loved me makes me feel so special."
