"All of us at the Cancer Resource Centre at Macclesfield DGH have been deeply moved by Gillian passing away. She had become a regular part of our lives for so many years. She lifted our spirits and made us laugh. She was a pleasure to treat and be with. We all became very, very fond of her. Gill always spoke to me about you all, what you were doing, updates on work and grandchildren. Being at home with her family was what she wanted most as you were the centre of her life. She would have been very proud of you managing to care for her so well. You have every right to be proud of her strength, stoicism and dignity. Our thoughts are with you."
