One of the brightest stars in the firmament went out after losing a 6 year fight with Secondary Breast Cancer. A disease that is treatable but not curable.

My darling Debbie peacefully passed away at 3.20am on Sunday 12th July. 

She was extremely brave throughout her cancer treatment and fought all the way to the end, grasping onto a life that she treasured. We were talking to her to the very end when she slipped away no longer in pain and at peace with the world. 

A world which will never be the same without her ever smiling face, vibrancy, wit, intelligence, wicked sense of humour and fun, love of life, and caring consideration for others. Quite simply, they broke the mould when they made her. She was my soulmate, a mum, sister, aunt, friend and colleague who was loved by all whose lives she touched. 

So, rather than rather sending flowers or cards please donate to a charity very close to her heart, and for whom she became a patient ambassador and strategic consultant.

In the meantime, on behalf of Tom, Ellie, Monica and myself, thank-you for the kind words and messages of support at this difficult time as we remember a remarkable lady. Thanks Pete xx
