Mothers against violence

Patsy McKie

Three years ago my life changed dramatically through the death of my son, who was shot in Hulme, Manchester.

Dorrie was a vibrant lad with a caring heart and an undying loyalty to his friends. In fact, his death really opened my eyes to how much he was loved by the people around him. A comment of one of his friends may say it all: 'He cared more for me than my dad ever did.'
