A WHITE van drives by.

For a split second Luke, 14, stops and thinks it is his father, Mark Trussler, whizzing past.

But then he and his siblings are reminded of the cruel reality – that their 54-year-old window cleaner father died two years ago in the Shoreham Airshow crash.

Mia, 12, says she still misses him so much and they all could not have asked for a better father.

Mr Trussler also leaves behind daughters Sophie, five, and Alicia, four, who still look to the sky each night to say goodnight to him.

His fiancée Giovanna Chirico, 35, of Worthing, said: “I’m feeling very numb and empty.

“The hardest thing is waking up everyday and knowing that Mark is not here.

“We miss Mark more with each passing day.

“It still doesn’t seem possible that two years have passed, we still can’t believe that he is gone.

“Our hope is one day we won’t feel so lost and empty without Mark.

“We will never ever forget him as not a day goes by when his name is not mentioned.”

Edwina Abrahams, the widow of wedding chauffeur Maurice, 76, said: “I thought by now it might get easier but the grief is worse now than in the first six months.

“I think you are in shock initially but then that fades away and you are just left without them.

“I spend time with my family and I have a lot of support from my colleagues and friends.

“It is now the sunflower season, which is particularly hard.

“He always got our children to plant them, it gave him so much pleasure to see their faces as the flowers grew taller then themselves.

“Maurice loved his life, the jobs he has done over the years, the wedding car he always said was a great joy, especially when it was a surprise for the bride.

“My police family liaison officers have been wonderful. I feel like they have been my guardian angels. “

Leslye Polito, who lost her son Daniele, 23, in the crash, said: “I am just keeping busy with my family.

“It is always lovely to have everyone there but this also makes it more obvious who is missing.

“It’s never going to get easy –it feels so much harder now. I am just taking every day as it comes.

“I love spending time with Georgio [Daniele’s son now aged five] but he is older so he asks questions and doesn’t understand.

“He is so much like Daniele – his actions, his character, his facial expressions.

“It’s like going back 20 years.

“It’s lovely but it also makes it incredibly hard.”
