Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tokorua i whakakotahihia e te mate pukupuku o ō rāua whaea, kua whakapuakina e rātau i herea e rātau te koropiko i ngā rā i mua noa iho i te matenga o te whaea o te wahine marena hou. I tūtaki a Kirsty Summers, 27, ki tana tāne, a Darren Summers, 34, mā tētahi huinga tautoko mate pukupuku. I a rāua e kōrerorero ana, ka kitea e rāua e noho ana i te tawhiti e toru māero noa iho te tawhiti i a rāua i Lincoln, ā, ko ō rāua whaea e rua i mate i te mate pukupuku uma. I hokona tahi a Kirsty rāua ko tana tāne a Darren i roto i tētahi rōpū tautoko mate pukupuku, ā, e rua ā rāua tamariki, ko Jack, e rima, ko Isabelle, e rua. I te whakatata mai o te rā o te whaea, kua whakakitea e Kirsty Summers te uaua o te whakapau i te rā me te kore o tōna whaea Carol i mate i te waru rā i muri i tana marena. Engari i te wa i ora ai a Maureen Summers, he marama noa iho te roa o te oranga o Carol Mellars, i akiaki ai te tokorua ki te whakatere i to raua marena. Ahakoa e noho ana ia i runga i te tūru wira, e whai hāora ana, ka taea e ia te mātakitaki i tana tamahine e haere ana i te huarahi, e hīhī ana: 'He rite koe ki te rangatira wahine.' E waru noa nga ra i muri mai, ka mate ia i te 50 o ona tau. Inaianei kua whakahonoretia e Mrs Summers tana whaea mo te kimi i tana 'tangata tino pai'. I mea te kaiako reo tohu o te pēpi: 'I tino harikoa ia i te rā i marenatia ai ahau, ā, ka whakawhetai tonu ahau ki a ia mō te kimi i taku tāne tino tika. 'Ko te kitenga o taku whaea ko te mea kino rawa i pa ki ahau engari i mutu ko te mea pai rawa atu i pa ki ahau.' E rua nga tamariki a te tokorua mai i to raua marena i te tau 2008, ko Jack, e rima, me Isabelle, e rua. I te Rātapu, ka mahara a Mrs Summers ki ngā āhuatanga pouri i tūtaki ai ia ki tana tāne. Ka mea ia: 'Kua māmā ake te whakatutuki i te rā o te whaea nā te mea kei a au ngā tamariki, ā, ka taea e rātau te hanga i ā rātau ake taonga iti. I hari a Sarah i te haerenga o tōna whaea a Carol, i kitea he mate pukupuku i te tau 2007, ki tōna marena. Ko Kirsty, i whakaahuahia ki a Darren, kua whakahonore i tana whaea mo tana awhina ki te kimi i te tangata tino pai. He pai ake te arotahi o ngā mea, engari he reka, he kawa tonu. I kitea tuatahihia a Ms. Mellars he mate pukupuku uma mate-tuatoru i te tau 2007. Ko te tikanga o tēnei...
I tūtaki a Kirsty rāua ko Darren Summers i tētahi rōpū tautoko mate pukupuku. I te wā e mate ana ō rāua whaea e rua i te mate pukupuku. Heoi, kāore i mate te whaea o Kirsty i te waru o ngā rā i muri i tā rāua marenatanga. Inaianei kua whakakitea mai e ia te pakanga e aro atu ana ia rā o te rā o te whaea.
