'Adored' UK couple die in horror crash on holiday in Norway as family pay tribute
The UK couple's family have said they are living in a 'bad dream' after the news of their deaths as they claim 'our lives are not going to be the same again'
An 'adored' British couple were tragically killed in a car crash whilst on holiday in Norway.
Andrew Laverty, 63, and his wife Tina, 58, were visiting Oslo, Norway when the crash happened on Friday, June 12.
The couple from Moulton, Northampton, were together for around 30 years and died in the road accident when visiting a church.
The pair loved to travel and their family say the news feels as if they are living in a 'bad dream'.
Tina had spoken to her parents ahead of the collision, saying she was excited and would call them back when they returned to the hotel.
Her heartbroken mother, Pat Auger, 81, said to the Sun : “We still can’t believe it. We keep thinking we will wake up and it will all have been a bad dream.
“They were devoted to each other and did everything together. I don’t think they could have lived without each other.
“Tina always loved travel and so did Andy. They had been all over the world together travelling to New Zealand, Australia and Thailand, and they took us to Canada and America.
“As soon as they got back from one trip they were planning the next one.
“This was the second time they had been to Norway. Tina was so happy when she rang us the day before the accident and so excited.
“She said she would ring us again when they got back to the hotel but that was the last we heard.”
Pat first met Andrew when they both worked at the King’s Head and asked him to translate a letter for her husband, Mick, 81, a well-known pigeon breeder.
She then introduced him to her daughter.
Pat explained: “That was the start and we just adored both of them. He was a wonderful son-in-law.
“I don’t know what we are going to do without them. Our lives are not going to be the same again.”
Tina grew up in a bungalow built by her parents in Stetchworth and attended a primary school in the village.
She loved all things travel and worked in a travel agency before landing a job at TWI engineering consultancy in Cambridge managing its travel needs.
He father Mick said: “Andrew was more like a son to me and Tina was a real dad’s girl.
“At the moment I just keep crying, I just can’t believe they have gone.”
