Very sad news

I lost my mum to cancer yesterday - 2 1/2 weeks from diagnosis - what a ******* that diease is.

I am going to play at her funeral though. Taking her into church with Sleep Deary Sleep.

Terribly sad to hear that mate,

It is a terrible disease


Hope all goes well for you at what will be a difficult time

No words can ease the pain, but my thoughts are with you.

Sorry for your loss.

Iain.

So sorry to hear that, my deepest sympathy and prayers....

Sorry to hear of your loss.

God bless!

Sorry to hear that, mate.

Oh I am so sorry! I wish I could give you a big hug right now.

Sorry for your loss Were. My thoughts are with you and yours.

I am so sorry john, what a gutter, it is certainly the cruellest of diseases, the only consolation if there is one is that at least you Mother will no longer be suffering.
Playing for her at her Funeral will probably be the hardest thing to undertake, buit you can do it m8. you are in my thoughts

Im sorry to hear of your loss mate. Its a vicious horrible thing. I lost my father to it after watching him suffer for months then the very same year my mother was daignosed with breast cancer. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear that. Our thought are with you.

Thanks for all the kind words folks, it is much appreciated.

I am sorry to hear that, pal. I lost my Dad to cancer 8 weeks ago, it's a total ******* of a disease. I can't think of one family I know that hasn't been touched by it.

I don't think that there are any words that could ease your pain, or if there are I don't know them, but I am thinking of you right now and you have my sincere sympathy.

It is always the good ones that go early,

Adam, thanks for your words. Nothing can be said. You are right, it is a vicious ******* and touched most people somehow.

This will be a long week until the funeral on Thursday. I am playing my mum into church, with Highland Cathedral (at the request of my dad). My uncle who is a piper thinks I am mad doing this but it is my way of saying goodbye. Play her down the road, into church and lay a thistle and heather on the coffin.

I am looking on it as a celebration of her life. We also have Peterlee's championship brass band playing in the church as she was their treasurer for 38years. Coming from the North East mining community I was the renegade, playing pipes and not brass.
