Thanks lads, just to put the record straight though, I thought I'd been banned from posting here after halloween but it turned out just to be a technical hitch.
We never knew at that time how ill Janie was. She was sent for scans in November & they found a tumour in her stomach & colon. Janie died in early December before the biop results came back. That's why they had to do an autopsy.
I've been through it before with my dad who went down to four stone & lost the will to live, at least Janie never suffered that.
The thread will be closed on February 1st, that's why I asked Jen & Hornette for help.
Cyprussyd asked me if he could send flowers but her family & myself had already agreed we'd rather any money go to the charity so I said to Syd if he wanted he could make a small donation. I never expected it to go public & raise as much as we have. We have one or two things in the pipeline between the mags & the mackems like taking bets on the derby & donating it & also, some of the lads have suggested doing the great north run for it.
Once again thanks lads.
