Grieving husband misses wife's funeral due to Covid-19 travel restrictions

A grieving husband was unable to attend his wife’s funeral because of the Covid-19 travel ban.

Web developer Ramy Aly, 26, opened his heart after his partner Margaret Ann died at her home in Paisley last month.

She was only 44 when she sadly passed away.

Ramy told how he has been left heartbroken by the loss of Margaret, who lived in Glencairn Road.

He had travelled to Vienna, in Austria, to deal with a family emergency when he got the news that she had died suddenly at home.

He was not able to attend the funeral service because of flight restrictions grounding planes in response to the global pandemic.

He explained that that the couple had been on a break from their relationship when he discovered he had lost her.

Paying tribute to her, Ramy said: “You are gone from my life, but you will never be forgotten from my heart.

“You were a beloved daughter, mother and a great wife.

“Heaven is waiting for you, but in my heart you will forever live.

“But God has made his calling.

“Beautiful, you were simple and easy going, no fuss ever
made.

“Now my angel is in heaven watching out over us.

“I love you so much, and I miss you so much.

Ramy met Margaret on Facebook in 2015 and they married after a whirlwind romance.

He told how they loved going out in Paisley and to Renfrew for food and drinks.

He said: “She lived in Paisley all her life.

“We used to go to Braehead.

“Our favourite restaurant there was NYC Bar and Grill.

“We also loved Craig Tara, in Ayr.”

Family and friends gathered in Paisley on March 17 for a moving service held at St Mirin’s RC Cathedral.

Ramy was in Vienna dealing with a family emergency when he learned of her death.

He hopes to return to Renfrewshire once the Covid-19 crisis is over.

His sister had taken ill and was in an intensive care unit at hospital in Vienna.

He said: “I wasn’t able to attend her funeral because of the Covid-19 travel ban.

“I am hoping to come back to Scotland.

“I am trying to stay in touch with friends as relatives are in different parts of the world.”
