The family of a mum and son who died in a crash on Christmas Eve have paid tribute, saying they loved theatre, music and their family.
Clair, 42, and Sam, 15, whose surname was not released, were killed this afternoon when their car collided with another on Ripponden Road in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
In a statement released by police, their family said: ‘Clair was a smart, loving parent, daughter and sister who would do anything for anyone.
‘Prior to the pandemic, Clair worked at the Bolton Theatre, supporting those facing mental health challenges.
‘She loved going to pottery class every week and was such a creative person and she could go from a lump of clay to making whatever she put her mind to.’
The statement continued: ‘Sam was in Year 11, looking forward to studying music at college; he loved to sing and to play the drums. Listening to music was one of Sam’s favourite things to do, he was always around the house with his headphones on.
‘When Sam wasn’t listening to music, he could be found in a world of his own playing on his computer.
‘Sam’s family meant the world to him; he was a brother and son whose loss will leave a hole in our family forever.
‘Christmas without Sam and Clair will be immensely difficult not only for us, but for everybody that knew them both.’
