Peter Gee told Judge Emily Telfer that it was "ironic" his mother died in a crash as she was a remarkable driver who had never lost a demerit point.He said his mother "relished" the role of grandmother and was a huge support to his two children as she would do school pick-up and drop-offs.
"She was a pivotal person as a support person for the family, story-reader, jigsaw-puzzler, craft guru, master baker and gardening expert, which gave her incredible purpose and meaning," he said.Mr Gee said before the crash his daughter would always draw pictures of "her world" which included five people — herself, her little brother, her mother, her father and her grandmother."The final picture I have was drawn not long after the accident.
"When I asked my daughter to explain the picture, she pointed out that granny is on the roof — on her way to heaven.The scene of the crash at the corner of Semaphore Road and Fletcher Road in Birkenhead. He said he hoped his daughter would forget the trauma of the crash with time but would never forget "her granny".Stephen Gee told the court that his mother had been robbed of so many special family moments.The court heard Herr was travelling 45 kph over the speed limit and had been drinking alcohol shortly before smashing into Ms Gee and her granddaughter.
"It makes me sick to my stomach — I feel like a monster. It's the biggest mistake of my life," he said.
You have my sympathies for your loss Mr. Gee
