You may be aware of the sad story which unfolded this week. Elaine was missing and it has now been confirmed that she has passed away.

Many people have said such lovely things about her, and none of them undeserved.a caring woman, nurse, lecturer, and above all mother.

I am not going to outline private matters in order to ask you to donate towards her funeral and numerous other associated costs, but ask you to trust me that it is required, and will help greatly at a time when her children have enough other sad matters to deal with.
