Local nurse in air crash

ONE of the two Victorians killed in a plane crash over the French Alps on Tuesday night was a nurse for the City of Casey.
Carol Friday was killed alongside her son Greig when the Germanwings Airbus A320 from Barcelona to Dusseldorf crashed.
There were no survivors from the 150 passengers and crew.
A statement from the Friday family was issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Wednesday afternoon.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop revealed some of this in Federal Parliament yesterday.
It read: “Our family is in deep disbelief and crippled with sadness, and would like to ask for privacy.
“Carol was a loving mother of two, a devoted wife to her husband Dave, and a sister to three brothers.
“She celebrated her 68th birthday on March 23.
“Greig was to turn 30 on 23 April.
“He was a loving son to Carol and Dave, and an exceptional brother to his sister Alex. “
“He was adored by all his family and friends.“
“Carol and Greig were enjoying a few weeks’ holiday together at the start of his European stay, where Greig was to teach English this year.“
“They were both extraordinary and exceptional people who were loved by many, who they loved in return.”
“They will forever be with us in our hearts, memories and dreams.”
