Message in a balloon gets answer
9:49am Monday 18th February 2008 in News
A WIDOW who floated a love letter written to her late husband on a helium balloon has received a reply from Holland.
Vicky Healey, 69, wrote the letter to her husband, Barry, who died from cancer 18 months ago, to mark their 50th wedding anniversary.
She was amazed when eight days after sending it she received a reply from a woman called Petra Verbeek who had found it just one day after Vicky sent it.
