It is with immense sadness that I have to post this for my beautiful friend and fellow walker Debbie, who sadly lost her battle with cancer this week after a long, courageous and dignified fight. Debbie will be very sadly missed by me and by everyone who’s life she touched, she was an amazing human being, and she leaves a very empty space in all our lives. Sending my thoughts and prayers to her husband Jay and her children Evie and Fred and all her family and friends.
I will always remember you 💔
Dance on beautiful lady 🧡

It is with a heavy heart I post this memory, sadly our lovely Kathy lost her brave and dignified battle with a stroke on Sunday, I will miss her cheery conversations and happy outlook on life, I would like to also say that her family are amazing and strong and both Kathy and her husband Bob have left a beautiful legacy in her children and grandchildren. I was fortunate to be able to spend time with Kathy and her family whilst caring for her on our ward, for which I am grateful and she will always been in my thoughts. Sleep well beautiful 💞
