    So many lovely memories Katy, we certainly had a lot of laughs and drank a lot of wine!
    Memories of celebrating St Patrick’s day in Manchester can still bring me to tears, tears of laughter!
    Mustn’t forget the parties, we had such fun throughout the years.
    Life can be so unfair at times, you didn’t deserve these final years, rest in peace dear friend. ❤️❤️❤️

    Katy
    For 6 years, 7 months and 14 days you have fought so hard and so bravely, maintaining your sense of humour throughout. I thought I knew you well from our friendship going back to 1996, travelling round the world together, too many social events to mention, loads of laughs and happy memories, as well as those tough times which bind you together.

    Many would have given up the fight – I’d seen it happen frequently in my nursing career – but not you. I was soon to learn what a tough, resilient fighter you were. Your strength was admirable.

    I know your infinite spirit will continue fighting for what you believe in, along with a lot of dancing of course.

    Know that you were often in our thoughts and on our minds and that we think you are one brave, gutsy woman.

    Rest well dear friend.
    You will be forever in our hearts. ♥️

    Much love

    Margaret and Steve
