Helen Gration’s emotional message to late husband Harry Gration as son packs for university

Messages of support flooded in to Helen Gration as she shared a photo of the couple’s grieving dog looking on at one of their son’s bags which had been packed ready to return to university life following the summer in which Harry passed away and his funeral was held.

The return to university marks the end of a tough summer for the Gration family, who said their final farewell to Harry, who died in June aged 71, on Yorkshire Day (August 1).

Alongside the photo, Helen posted on Facebook: “And so it starts again. First twin repacking for university life… heck, we’re going to need your help @mrharrygration my love today. This is a going to be a particularly tough one. Helen and the boys x #university #student #love”

Harry has two twins Harrison and Harvey as well as Hamilton with wife Helen.

He also has Hannah, his daughter from his first marriage, and Frederick and Samuel, sons from his second marriage.
