Not too sure what to say here but here it goes anyway!...

I decided to call my pyrography business Frances and Rose, in memory of my aunt Frances (auntie Francie) who sadly past away a few years ago after a long battle with blood cancer. Since then, not a day has gone by that I don't think of her. 

Some days, I am filled with sadness from the hole she's left in my families lives and my own. Other days however, I recall some of the many wonderful memories I have of her.  I can still hear her voice,  especially the way she used to greet me: "ello Jennifer Rosie". I don't know why, but that always makes me feel better, almost as if she's still here. 

She was a beautiful, kind and loving person. Even at the end of her battle she was still smiling, her strength throughout her illness is something I can't even comprehend, and i'm so proud to have know and loved her.

Since Christmas, Frances and Rose has been raising money for the Bloodwise charity. 10% of everything I have made has gone to them. This May I am running the Great Run in Bristol on the 7th May to help raise even more. Please help me by giving as much as you can to this great charity. Without their research, I along with so many others, were given cherished extra time with the people we love.
