Extract from Perthshire Advertiser. Jun 22 2012 by Denis Brown, Perthshire Advertiser Friday
After being diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in March 2009 and given a slim chance of survival, the dynamic Scone woman – who taught at Kilgraston School for 30 years – vowed to defeat the disease.
I've lost my Lovely wife Sinta on June 23rd, 2012 to Ovarian Cancer, she was 39yo. She battled hard for 1 year, unfortunately the cancer was way to aggressive. Even after 4 chemo's and 2 surgeries, my beautiful wife was gradually weakening & her breathing became harder to handle.
Thank you for supporting Ovarian Cancer Action.

As some of you may know, Martin's sister, Kate passed away on December 31st 2011, losing her battle with Ovarian Cancer.

Our beloved sister Carol lost her 13 month battle against ovarian cancer on the 6th December 2009 at age 44. She was a remarkable woman in that in all the time that she had this dreadful disease she never once asked "why me". In fact she even stated at one time when faced with the question "why not me, what makes me so special".
Barbara was a fantastic, beautiful, talented and patient! woman who re-identified herself in a myriad of extraordinary ways, facing every adversity life threw at her with bravery, humour and selflessness. She was a wonderful friend, mother and grandmother and much loved by everyone who knew her.
