Sad news

Our friend Julie's mother passed away on Tuesday morning. She had been fighting lymphoma for approximately 18 months and finally lost the battle after a long time enduring chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant. She was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. Jan & Julie are Ben & Maggie's Godparents and looked after Ben when we went to Ukraine in 2005 & 2006. They took Ben with them to visit Julie's family at Christmas and Julie's parents made him very welcome and kept him entertained for several days. They had a special place in their hearts for Ben & Ben was very fond of them too. Both of Julie's parents have been ill in the past couple of years and this has been very hard for her. Her mother will be sorely missed, but is now no longer suffering.
