Girlfriend of electrocuted tradie finds something incredible in his wallet

The girlfriend of a tradie who died after being electrocuted in a workplace accident has described how she found a secret reciept for an engagement ring in his wallet.

Jaime-Lee Digby had just identified Luke Bray's body in the morgue when she made the discovery.

Taking to Instagram, Jaime-Lee explained the bittersweet story.

'When it came time to identify his body and collect his belongings I was made aware of something incredibly special inside his wallet. In his wallet was a receipt for a beautiful cushion cut Halo engagement ring,' she wrote.

She put up the post as part of a competition in which she hopes to win the ring Luke put down a payment for.

'We had always spoken about the day that we were to meet each other at the aisle and I would like nothing more than to fulfill his dream,' she explained.

On Tuesday the 21/02/2017 my beautiful boyfriend @lukebray92 was taken away from me in a workplace accident. He was the love of my life and was everything to me. When it came time to identify his body and collect his belongings I was made aware of something incredibly special inside his wallet. In his wallet was a receipt for a beautiful cushion cut Halo engagement ring from @armansjewellery We had always spoken about the day that we were to meet each other at the aisle and I would like nothing more than to fulfill his dream. Winning this competition would complete me and our aspirations of becoming engaged as he was so desperate and worked so hard to make it happen. Luke you are the love of my life and I plan on making your dream a reality. #PutARingOnMe #iloveyou #soulmate #bestfriend #engagedineverywayexceptaring

Luke Bray, 24, was electrocuted in February while working in the roof of a home in Carlton, in Sydney, NSW, leaving Jaime-Lee heartbroken.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. A picture can really capture a moment in time and tell a story. I truly do believe this is one of those pictures. It really goes without saying that this photo does say it all. What I would give to be wrapped up in your arms again, listen to your heart beat and just talk to you one last time Lukey. Like you always used to say "We just fit together so perfectly." We really really did. We were perfect. You were perfect. I love you with my whole heart and soul and that love is an eternal flame that cannot be extinguished. My heart belongs to you forever and always my Lukey. Every day that passes without you, is a day my heart breaks a little more beyond repair 😓 #loveconquersall #foreverinmyheart #matchmadeinheaven #soulmatesneverdie #soulmate #takeontheworld #truelove #bestfriend #loveofmylife

Take me back!!! #isleofpines #cruise #holiday #takemeback #beauty #islands #southpacific #readyforthenextone

Speaking to the media, she said, 'No person should go to work one day and not make it home alive by the evening.'
