A woman who died in a car crash on her way to visit family has left three ‘beautiful’ children without a mother.

Jo Law was killed on the M4 near Windsor on September 9.

Her devastated family have found some comfort in the fact that a number of off-duty emergency service workers happened to be at the scene and tried to save her life.

Jo, who was 31, was born in Gravesend and lived in Swanley her whole life, attending St Bartholomew’s Catholic Primary School in the town and then St Catherine’s Catholic School for Girls in Bexleyheath.

Her aunt Samantha Neal said the stay-at-home mum was ‘devoted’ to her children Harvie, 12, Isla, 9, and Parker, 4.

‘Everything she did was about them and teaching them about the ways of the world,’ she said. ‘They used to go out on motorbikes and would do dirt biking, they spent a lot of time outside.

‘She was good as a mother, she was quite laid back. She loved spending time with her very large family.

‘She was quite silly as a niece, and she used to like messing around and doing TikToks with her children, doing silly dances.’

Jo had been travelling alone on the M4 to visit family when the crash happened earlier this month. She died at the scene.

Her family later learned that a number of off-duty emergency service workers ‘happened to be caught in the traffic that had built up’ following the crash and came forward to do everything they could to help her.

Samantha added: ‘Words cannot truly express how grateful we are to know that, in those moments, there were people there with her who stepped forward to help, care for her and do everything they possibly could.

‘To every person who stopped, helped, offered their skills or simply stayed with Jo — from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

‘Knowing that Jo was surrounded by people who cared and tried so hard to help her brings her family an incredible amount of comfort at such a heartbreaking time. We will forever be grateful to everyone for being there for her.’

Her aunt said the family have been left devastated by the loss, but that the tragedy has brought relatives even closer together.

She explained: ‘We’re a big family and we live a road apart; I think this has just brought everyone closer. We went on a family holiday to Ibiza in August so it was nice to have had that before this happened.’

The GoFundMe appeal was initially given a £7,000 target but has since grown significantly, with more than £17,000 raised. Samantha said the money will help cover the cost of Jo’s funeral, with any remaining funds put aside for her children, who are now living with their dad full-time. Her funeral is due to take place mid October.

Samantha added: ‘Jo was a loving mum to three beautiful children. They were her world, and they now have to face life without their mum far too soon.

‘As a family, we are trying to come to terms with the unimaginable pain of losing Jo while also facing the financial costs that come with such a sudden and heartbreaking loss.

‘We would like to raise funds to help towards Jo’s funeral and give her children some financial support as they begin to navigate the difficult road ahead without their mum.

‘Any contribution, no matter how big or small, would mean more to Jo’s family and children than words can express.

‘Jo was loved by so many and will never be forgotten. Her children will always know just how deeply their mum was loved and how many people cared about her.’
