The husband of Borehamwood woman killed in a car accident has paid tribute to his "gorgeous, caring and trustworthy wife".

Sinead Hare, 28, died after a road traffic accident near St Albans on Sunday, October 4.

The mother-of-one leaves behind parents Chris and Kathleen Hare, her brother Peter and husband Nathan Symes and daughter Orla Rose Symes.

Mr Symes, who found his wife after growing concerned she never returned home, said: “Sinead was a gorgeous, caring and trustworthy person, whilst also being a truly independent woman who just enjoyed having fun, and whose smile and laughter was infectious with anyone she came across.

“She was the most fantastic and dedicated mum to our beautiful daughter Orla Rose, for whom I am eternally grateful for and I vow that Orla Rose will grow up knowing her mummy.

“I am so proud and honoured that although Sinead and I were together for almost seven years, I was able to call her my wife for 106 days.”

It is believed the accident took place during the afternoon of Sunday October 4 and Sinead died at the scene.

“Sinead will always be a part of me and she has made me a better person just for knowing her,” Mr Symes said.

“There is now a massive hole in our family due to Sinead leaving us that will never be filled.

“However, neither I nor Orla Rose, will ever forget her. We will continue to love her forever and always.”
