R.I.P. thread

Saw the Enough Rope interview - she came across such a fantastic, inspirational person.  Extremely sad to hear of her passing

RIP

Very tragic indeed. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Glenn and the rest of the McGrath family.

My Mum in law is currently facing a tough battle with cancer for a second time. She is currently on a heavy chemo cycle which has knocked the stuffing out of her!
She's a tough cookie but fighting cancer is the toughest battle of all. I was so hoping that Jane would have pulled through. She seemed like such a lovely person. 
RIP Jane

Hard to comprehend how these things happen to good people.

My fiancee's aunt who is 45 with 3 young kids is facing the same battle, however it has now spread to 3 different sections of her body.

Chemo has not worked and the doctors refuse to operate, citing its too dangerous so she is about to begin
radiotherapy.

Very sad indeed..

Not mant if any that are not touched or affected by this montrous disease.
Saw my Nan die from it, not nice - she had a good innings tho.
Then a couple of years after I left and old job found out my boss there had died from it.
Non smoker non drinker ran every day, was apparently diagnosed 6 months later dead.
Or one of mums friends' daughter 18 ready to start life diagnosed, 3 months later dead.

Worse thing about this one is 2 young kids now have no mother. Horrible ...

faith pffft

well l can truely speak as a person who has been treated for bowel cancer that Australia has lost a great Ambassador in Jane McGrath who knew her destination, but had the will & courage to fight & put on a brave face for those around her, that it may help many other people fight a terrible disease that has many forms & strikes at any time
Her making people aware of cancer & that it can be treated has helped save many lifes

please give comfort to the Glen McGrath, thier children & all thier extended families at such this sad time
if you suspect something is not right with your body like l did,  no matter how embarrassing it may be,  please go talk to your doctor because if you dont it will not just effect you,  but it will also effect the ones that love you even more,  cause this is truely a disease that people need to take serious. l cant think of many things worse than watching a loved one die slowly from this terrible disease, & l know most of us would have seen it before in our lives

Do it for Jane just like she did it for all of us 
RIP beautiful woman

Very True TM.
as i said in a earlier post my fiancee's aunt first had signs in October 2006 but never got tested till March 2007, 6 months after.

By that stage it had spread, and it has since got worse.

It is a very sad time for the family, especially knowing it may have been prevented.

She begins radio this week, Fingers crossed!!

I remember watching her on Denton (they replayed it only a few months ago) and thought what a great lady.

What a fighter...

RIP Jane

As for this sinsiter disease.... my thoughts and best wishes go to anyone who is battling it and those around them that have to deal with it and also live with it. It's a monster and effing bastard of a thing

We've all been touched by it that I have no doubt (have 2 friends fighting the fight as we speak).

But Jane McGrath was absolutely spot on it certainly makes you apprecaite how precious life really is and understand what's important

Only man I would have gladly aged 20 years for 
Sexiest man ever!
RIP Cool Hand Paul
 

[Tazzytiger]

I was always impressed by how down to earth and charitable he was.
A real person and a real man.

[mightytiges]

What a great philosophy on life he had - "those of us who have been lucky in life should give to those who have been unlucky in life" or words to that affect. Backed it up with his actions too.

RIP
