On 26th February 2010 my dear wife Jill died of metastasised breast cancer. She had been originally diagnosed on 15th March 2005 and after surgery and radiotherapy appeared in good shape. Sadly, the metastasis was diagnosed in October of 2009. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were tried, but the cancer had too strong a hold and she died after a brief stay in Clare Holland House, the attractively situated hospice in Canberra. Her family were with her almost to the end.
At the funeral on 2nd March eulogies were spoken by Rod (husband), Lindsay (daughter), Robert (son) and Paula (Rod's sister). The text of the eulogies can be found
here. A slide show of Jill's life was shown. It can be found here.
