‘My beautiful angel’ Sister of actor loses her fight for life after crash
THE grieving boyfriend of a “beautiful angel” who lost her fight for life yesterday after a collision which killed her parents says he is praying for the survival of her injured sister – actor Jessica Falkholt.
Devastated Jordan Brohier described Annabelle Falkholt as “the most amazing girl I’ve ever met” who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
“I’ve never met such a kind, gentle soul and this world is at such a loss without this beautiful angel,” he wrote in an emotional tribute on Facebook. “My prayers are with darling Jess and I hope she can pull through.”
Annabelle, 21, died at Liverpool Hospital three days after the crash that killed her parents Lars and Vivian and left Home And Away actor Jessica, 28, in a critical condition.
She worked in childcare at Leichhardt, where “all the children adored her”, Mr Brohier said.
“She always had cute stories to tell me about how much the kids loved her. Pray that Jess doesn’t share the same fate as her perfect sister and amazing parents. Never met nicer people than them.”
The day before the Boxing Day tragedy, the family posed for what would be their last photograph together while spending Christmas with friends at Ulladulla. They texted it to loved ones.
“We’re having a great day, hope you are too”, Vivian Falkholt, who was in remission from breast cancer, told a friend.
The family was returning to Sydney when a car driven by drug addict Craig Whittal, 50, who was on his way home after visiting a methadone clinic, veered into their path.
Heroic motorists dragged the sisters from the back seat of the burning car but Annabelle’s injuries were more severe than Jessica’s. Jessica remains in a coma in a critical condition after undergoing more surgery for internal injuries and burns.
