RIPs

[Dark Jimbo]

I had no idea Richards was in it to be honest, I just remembered it definately wasn't her who got de-bra-ed.

The fact that I'm 24 and able to recall so much about Carry On Girls is probably doing no favours for my street cred, either.

Thank you.

Excuse me while I ramble on here....

It wasn't compleatly out of the blue but happened much sooner and quicker than expected.

She was diagnosed with lung cancer just before christmas (a heavy smoker years ago but had given up about 12 years ago) and started therapy in the new year.

She seemed to be handling the therapy quite well and was still able to go about her business pretty much as normal, maybe not getting about quite as much, getting tired etc...

Last Satrday dad had a bad night with her, she was very confused and halucinating about people in the room with her.

Got the doctor out on sunday, she said mum had very low blood pressure and very high blood sugar level (she was also diabetic), treated her and said she should get back to normal over the next few days.

She went to sleep sunday night and my sister couldn't wake her up on monday morning so ambulance to local hospital and a phone call to me at work telling me to get to hospital as soon as possible.

I think she was still alive when I got there but died soon after.

She had slipped into a diabetic coma in her sleep and also had a heart attack.

But, it was all very quick so no suffering involved at all.

As far as she knows she went to sleep on sunday night and is still sleeping, doesn't even know she's dead.

Much better like this rather than a long drawn out painful process of the cancer slowly killing her.

My very sincerest condolences, Uncle Ump.  We could all hope for so peaceful an exit, but I know that makes it no easier for you and your family.
