Thank you for visiting Jill's fundraising page. Jill died peacefully in her sleep on Jan 10th at the Derby Royal Infirmary after a long fight with Ovarian Cancer.
Jill was a big supporter of cancer charities and would prefer all donations to go to a cancer charity.
Many thanks to everyone that cane to the funeral.
The fund is in memory of my lovely mum.
She was a mum full of laughter, smothering cuddles and endless chatter.
Her calmness in death created hope and faith to those around her. On the sad days I just remember that stillness and it makes things much easier.
Here's to you mum, long may I bake cakes and fund raise for you!
If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord,
please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her, I love her and I miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.

Thank you for visiting our Tribute Fund page. As you probably know we lost Rosemary to Ovarian Cancer in 2007, so we want to raise as much money as we can to help Ovarian Cancer Action achieve its aim of increasing survival rates from this disease.
