Jill was diagnosed with Amyloidosis in March 2022 after months of many probing tests, by the time she was eventually diagnosed her kidneys were damaged beyond repair. Then started the chemotherapy and dialysis journey, the chemotherapy was brutal. Jill succumbed to a dialysis complication and left us on the 3rd February 2023. She never complained about her lot and always remained positive throughout.
