Mother’s tribute to flu victim
A teenager who died after contracting flu was described as the “most kindhearted, generous, loving person ever” by her heartbroken mother.
Eighteen-year-old Bethany Walker, pictured, from the Wester Ross community of Applecross, was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness last Friday when her flu symptoms developed into bacterial pneumonia and sepsis. An eight-strong medical team battled for more than two hours but was unable to save her.
Yesterday, Bethany’s devastated mum Heather Teale said: “She was my world.”
