MUM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER OF THE SPINE IN 2001 BUT THIS WAS SECONDARY CANCER SO IT STARTED SOME WERE ELSE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO CURE HER THEY BASICALY TOLD HER TO GO HOME AND DIE. SHE THEN AT TO TELL MY DAD AND HER CHILDREN. THAT WAS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE I COULDNT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT MUM. MUM NEVER COMPLAINED NO MATTER HOW MUCH PAIN SHE HAD SHE WAS SO BRAVE AND I ADMIRE HER SO MUCH. SHE PLODDED ON WITH CANCER FOR 8 YEARS NOT WANTING ANY TREATMENT AND REFUSING ANY MORE TESTS AS SHE DIDNT WANT TO KNOW IF IT HAD SPREAD BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ANYWAY. BUT LAST YEAR MY MUM BECAME WORSE AND THE CANCER HAD SPREAD TO HER LUNGS AND YET MY MUM STILL NEVER COMPLAINED EVEN THO SHE NEW THE END WAS NEARLY HERE. AN SADLY ON THE 26TH SEPTEMBER MY MUM PASSED AWAY. NO MORE PAIN MUM R.I.P.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to ALICE MERCER. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
