Vicky

We have been greedily asking for your prayers and positive thoughts for so long. But today ours are elsewhere. Vicky, whom we came to know through this terrible illness, died yesterday morning, just before her 41st birthday. A good friend of our friend Sue, Vicky was diagnosed last October - about a week after Quentin. As Vicky put it, we seemed to tread a parallel path for quite a while.

Not just in terms of diagnosis. Like Quent, Vicky was an upbeat, generous person, who loved sailing. She was known for her sense of fun and fantastic smile and was extremely brave throughout her illness. Vicky’s daughter Iona (6) and her partner Martin, as well as all her family – and Sue – are uppermost in our thoughts at the moment.

This is a... brave blog you write. It's hard to write about touchy issues like health sometimes, but I'm glad that you can be open with everything.

Check out my blog if you get a chance: eight-thirty.blogspot.com.

Hi you guys
As always we were speechless reading this at what you've had to go through and how much humour and love and warmth you manage to emanate! Keep the faith! Though I clearly don't need to tell you this...

So sorry to hear this news, we must all learn from this and treat each other and our families with lots of tender loving and care. However not always possible when your daughter is punching all the keys on the keypad because she wants to use the computer. So must go.
Love and hugs.
