My Daughter Vicky was my best friend. Her beautiful big smile and wonderful sense of humour always brightened my day and that of many others. We have many very treasured memories of her and how she touched so many lives.

When she was 25, Vicky was delighted to discover she was pregnant, she had always wanted to be a Mum, sadly as the weeks went on she became more and more ill. The bleeding she had suffered from for years had worsened. Doctors were concerned but were still sure it was nothing serious and any testing could end up with her losing the baby so Vicky struggled on. By the time Spencer was born Vicky was seriously ill. It was diagnosed as bowel cancer when Spencer was just 6 weeks old and the prognosis was bad. 

Vicky was naturally terrified at having to leave her beautiful baby boy but she was so very brave and spent her last precious months putting things in place for his future. Vicky wanted her and Spencer to be cared for at home with us and they moved in at Christmas 2012. Cotswold Care Hospice at home nurses helped us care for Vicky for three weeks. I will always be thankful to them all for helping to make her final days less frightening and less stressful. They have also been an amazing help to me too and always there whenever I need them.

Vicky died on 14th May 2013, we think about her constantly and miss her more than words can say. We will always make sure that Spencer will grow up knowing what a wonderful person his Mummy was. 

Thank you for your help.

Love
