It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I have to tell you all that mum passed away at around 8pm tonight.
She went very peacefully surrounded by all her family. As she took her last breaths we all held her, stroking her hands, head, and feet and told her we loved her. It was sad and we did not want her to go, but at the same time we all knew that deep down it was for the best. She is at rest, and is no longer in any pain.
Jill's life deserves to be celebrated, so it won't surprise our reader to know that she has this planned already. We will post more details on this page as we work them out.
In the meantime I can only thank everyone who has helped us to get through the past 6 years. Jill's battle against cancer has been a roller coaster par excellence. When she was first diagnosed she didn't expect to live very long...in the end we had another 6 absolutely wonderful years. We are all so grateful for that extra time....and we're grateful to have had so many wonderful friends and relatives to share that time with.
Rest in peace Jill. I am so sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful lady. xx
ReplyDeleteLiz and I are thinking of you all at this incredibly sad time. The World will be a darker place without Jill's bright light shining. All our love and thoughts are with you, Liz & Ken.
