A couple had been looking forward to retirement after dedicating their lives to giving vulnerable kids a second chance at life.
Lynn and Steve Smedley fostered more than 100 children over 15 years, from premature babies with cerebal palsy through to teenage mothers. It was planned that they would retire together in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, in a beautiful bungalow before tragedy struck.
