SHE was a kind, caring woman who loved her family "with all her heart".

Now the son and daughter of accident victim Kathleen Gundre are hoping someone will answer the questions surrounding her death and enable them to start rebuilding their lives.

Paul Calvert, 26, and his sister Jenny are still trying to come to terms with the tragedy that occurred two weeks ago.

Mrs Gundre was hit by a Renault Laguna on the A326 near Totton but police believe at least one other vehicle may have been involved.

Officers are attempting to trace the driver of a light-coloured lorry that was seen to swerve just before the collision.

Paul and Jenny say they can not begin to move on until they know what happened.

In an interview with the Daily Echo, they urged anyone with information about their mother's death to contact police investigating the tragedy.

Jenny said: "We're hoping that someone will come forward and give us the answers we need to fit the last pieces of the puzzle."

One of the biggest mysteries is why Mrs Gundre was on the A326, which is several miles from her home at Rumbridge Steet, Totton.

The only clue is that she is known to have had links with the nearby Loperwood area.

Her son and daughter believe she may have been trying to take a short cut across the A326, possibly after being dropped off by bus or taxi, when the accident happened.

Jenny, a 38-year-old mother-of-three of Weston, Southampton, said: "Mum was on the brink of starting a new life.

Family devastated "She was due to move into a new flat and may have been planning to stock up at Morrisons supermarket, which is very close to where the accident happened.

"The last two weeks have been terrible but I've kept going for the sake of my children, who are devastated by their Nan's death."

Jenny's eyes filled with tears as she recalled the colourful, larger than life figure who enjoyed family get-togethers and "filled the room with her presence".

"Her family meant everything to her and she loved them with all her heart," she said.

Lorry appeal Police are urging the business community in the Southampton area to help them trace the lorry that may have been involved in the accident, which occurred on November 8.

It is described a white or light-coloured curtain-sided vehicle with a green oak tree logo on the side.

Police are anxious to hear from any businesses that received or should have received a delivery on the day of the accident from a company that uses vehicles of that description.
