"Men may come and men may go, But I go on forever." Our beloved wife, mum, grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. Taken too soon, but she will be with us always. My mum passed away from ovarian cancer on 25th August 2010, just 2 days after her 53rd birthday. She was initially diagnosed in July 2008, and succesfully beat the disease following chemotherapy and surgery. She made a full recovery, however, relapsed in the earlier months of 2010. We will never forget how bravely she battled against the disease, leading as always by example, with her strong will and determination always evident. She is my hero, and I miss her very much, but I am so thankful that I had her, and for all that she taught me, and I know that she is always with us, watching and guiding us, the most beautiful star in the sky. I want to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, and plan to do some fundraising over the next while. Please email all your family, friends and colleagues the details of this page and let's make Mum proud!
