“I have left you my teddy to keep you company on your new adventure.”
That heart-breaking message in a child’s handwriting is among dozens tributes from a Glenrothes neighbourhood united in grief following the death of a local boy in a road accident.
Nine-year-old Logan Carrie died after he was in a collision with a vehicle on the A92 near Balfarg during Tuesday’s evening rush hour.
The youngster had been visiting a friend before the incident on the busy stretch and died despite being rushed to Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital.
Logan’s school, Pitcoudie Primary, opened its gates to parents and pupils wishing to pay their respects to the youngster, described as “cheeky” by his heart-broken mother Sionaid Brown.
In a statement, Ms Brown spoke of her loss and said that Logan’s twin brother, Zachary, had lost his best friend.
“The whole family is devastated by the loss of Logan,” she said. “He was so cheeky. He loved playing tricks on people but was a very sensitive soul.
“He didn’t like seeing people hurt or sad. He loved giving to charity as well.
“Logan was so close to his brother Zachary as well. The bond between them was incredible. They’ve never been apart.
“He will also be greatly missed by his grandfather and other siblings.”
Dozens of floral tributes and teddy bears were piled up outside the front door of Logan’s school in the Cadham area of the town.
Further tributes were also in place at the site where Logan was struck down, midway between the Balfarg and Cadham junctions.
The shock of the youngster’s death has been felt deeply in the local community.
Neighbour Leanne Wilde said that Logan, like other children in the neighbourhood, would frequently gather on a rock outside her home.
“I was devastated when I heard the news,” she said. “Everyone has been trying to work out why he was where he was.
“I never once heard his mum shout at him she had all of the time in the world for him.
“The kids are all off school so you would expect it to be noisy, but it just isn’t.”
