I hope people who knew my mum in whatever way will express their thoughts and share their stories here. She is such a huge spirit that she will always be with us and her legacy lives on in her children and grandchildren. She had much care from Macmillan and Marie Curie in her long illness which she faced with great dignity and good humour. I would encourage anyone who can to make a donation, however small, to Marie Curie who helped Mum and my family so much. You can do it via this website. Don't almost do it - even if just a £1, it acknowledges Mum and helps some other family facing up to losing a loved one and the patient themselves
