Diane was full of spirit, she would light up any room and if you met her for even 5 minutes you would never forget her. There are no words that could do justice to the amazing woman that she was. She had the biggest heart, she would do anything for her family and friends, and went over and beyond to help people. We will never ever forget her and her memory will live on through the many people's lives that she touched.

She fought so bravely for 4 years against her cancer, myeloma, always with a smile, and spread her joy and positivity everywhere she went. 

When her body finally gave up after enduring so much, she came to St. Francis hospice to spend her last days. The nurses and staff here are the most compassionate, kind and hard working people. They showed my mum the respect and love that she deserved, they kept her comfortable and were irreplaceable in this difficult time.

This year the hospice needs to raise £7.3m in voluntary donations, as the NHS fund 27% of their £10.3m running costs. Without fundraising this amazing place would not be open, so please donate generously in mums name to help them continue their amazing work.
