My beautiful friend Christine died on 10th March 2018 from Non Hodginson's Lymphoma. Her untimely death at just 46 has been devastating for her family and friends.

She died as she lived her life, with grace, dignity and concern for those around her rather than for herself. Throughout her she suffered incredible pain, lack of sleep and ability to eat.

Christine leaves behind a heartbroken partner, daughter and grandson but we will remember her always for the way she touched our lives, the love and compassion she showed us and everyone who knew her. The way she lived her life is a lesson to us all and we cannot thank her enough.

Her family and friends have raised an incredible amount of money for Blood Cancer UK in the hope that one day no-one will have to go through the pain we have been forced to endure. We thank you all for your generosity but most of all for the love and kindess you have shown us. Christine would be touched and proud of each and every one of you.
