Woman devastated after she loses six-year-old daughter, her older sister and her husband this year
2018 has been literally an Annus horribilis for Joey Ayres from Lincoln, East Midlands, as she lost her partner only nine months after they lost their 6-year-old daughter. If that wasn't enough to make one grief, the mother of seven also lost her sister in the intervening period.
According to reports, Ayres and and her husband Mark Barfoot's worlds collapsed when their daughter, 6-year-old Lyla, died of sepsis in March this year. This was just a week after she was rushed to the hospital after complaining of a headache. The year only got worse later on when Mark collapsed and died of a heart attack on his way to pick up their 2-year-old granddaughter on November 13.
The Daily Mail reported that paramedics and kind-hearted strangers tried to help the 47-year-old but he was later pronounced dead in the hospital at 6 pm, which was the same time down to the exact minute that Lyla died.
