Nici was just 42 when she finally lost her long battle to cancer last week. She never gave up fighting. They said she wouldn't make Christmas but she did. They gave her 24 hours and she went on for nearly another two weeks and she never complained once.

Nici leaves two kids, Liane and Jay-Jay and of course a big gaping hole. She wanted to raise some money for the Florence Nightingale Hospice to help others and their families.

Her funeral is tomorrow and we aim to raise as much as we can in the next 24 hours. If you help thats great.
