Brenda’s mother also questioned if her cancer would have been discovered earlier, or if she would have been in as poor health if her daughter had not been killed.
“Brenda had walked out of the shop to see what was happening, and I know for a fact if Carl had been there, he would have walked with her, and we would have lost him too.
In the months leading up to her death, she told her sons what she would like to include in her commemorative statement that she would be unable to deliver in person to the inquiry.
Mary Logue, who had relayed her words to her sons while being treated for cancer, said Brenda “would know what to do, what to say, how to comfort my boys”.
The statement from Mary Logue said: “On August 15 1998, like any normal Saturday, we took my mother into the town – myself and Brenda.
