This is Lydia, Alex’s sister
I’m sorry to update that Alex lost her fight with Breast Cancer on the 5th August.
I couldn’t bear that her last post and picture was about her paralysis. My sister was so much more than her illness.
She was so beautiful and full of life. She was the centre of every party and the last to leave. She was loyal and kind and the best daughter, sister and auntie that we could ever ask for.
The humour and resilience you read in these blog posts are a fraction of the true strength and bravery she displayed whole life.
She laughed her whole 36 years and cancer didn’t stop or even dampen that, my life will have far less laughter in it without her here. She will be livid that this blog post isn’t anywhere near as witty or clever as she could write it…….
Her ceremony was on Friday, Alex would have been blown away by the number of people that were there and the outpouring of memories and love.
Me, her Mam and her Niece and Nephew will miss her ever single day
