Jacqueline Duffy is my mother-in-law and passed away in January 2007 after an 8 year battle with cancer. Jacqueline first had breast cancer at the young age of just 32. She was in remission for 3 years when she received the news she had lung cancer. Both her and my father-in-law were due to start IVF treatment the following month.
After beating lung cancer, she discovered she had cancer in her other lung which led to secondary brain cancer and subsequently bone cancer.
Jacqueline passed away with all her family by her side after her amazing fight against this horrific disease. My husband Mark was her only child and the bond they had was unbelievable.
Jacqueline took part in a documentary about the Marie Curie which was shown on BBC1 in November 2006. Her main aim was to make our wedding last July and defied the odds to do so. Unfortunately, her next aim was to see her grandchildren which was not to be.
Jacqueline was one of 9 children - having been raised by her father who also lost his wife to bone cancer aged just 46. Jacqueline was well loved as her funeral proved with people in their hundreds showing their respect. Jacqueline's wish was to have fireworks and balloons at her funeral - her wish was granted.
Jacqueline was an amazing person who always put others before herself and during all she went through I only saw her cry the week before she left us. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and missed so much by all the family.
The most recent photos are of the Charity Night we held to raise money for Marie Curie and to celebrate Jacqueline's birthday - the money raised stands at £5,000.
Gone but not forgotten my angel. xxx

Granda
Well missus that was wee Granda's 86th Birthday on Friday and our first one without him. Made it a bit easier knowing he was with you and Gran and God knows they have spent too many Birthdays apart.
Words cannot describe how much the whole family misses you and Granda - a huge void has been left that will never be replaced.
Its not long until Christmas but Mark & I just wish it come around and go as it just won't be the same without the both of you.
I know its been so long since I've been on here and no doubt you'll have a few choice words for me when we meet again!
Luv you always

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there

Well Jackie wee Granda is in the hospital and hes really fed up - Mark thinks hes just about to give up but I know if you were here you would kick him up the backside so thats exactly what I'll do if he starts any of his nonsense!!!
Nearly your birthday and I'm hoping this year will be a wee bit easier than last year. Its also my wee gran's first anniversary tomorrow so I hope your looking after each other up there.
Well you know how much your loved and missed by all the family. Keep Mark strong, I know he misses you like crazy and always will.
Love forever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hey missus I'm soooo sorry I haven't been on for ages, bet you'll have a few words to say when we meet again!
Well you've probably met up with Tommy Burns now, another family going through the grief of losing a loved one to cancer. The pain of not having you around is still the same as it was the night you died. Mark copes brilliantly - as you always said, he does you proud.
He really doesn't like this job so I'm hoping you can help him find something he really likes, he deserves to be happy after everything he has been through.
Granda is coming on leaps & bounds although he's still freezing everything that he comes into contact with (I'm sure you know the story from last week about him freezing the muller yoghurts!!)
Well I'm in work so I better get going.
Love you loads honey xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
