Chris battled with cancer for 18 months. Despite a gruelling regime of radiotherapy and chemotherapy her spirit never wavered and she was determined to try and beat the disease.There were periods of optimism when the treatment seemed to be working and then disappointment when we learned that it had not been successful but Chris never showed any fear or resentment about the outcome. She faced death with amazing courage and calmness.She died in St Luke's, having spent the last three months of her life there. She received the most wonderful and loving care and we will be forever grateful to the staff for everything they did.From the time she was diagnosed Chris was determined to get the most out of the life she had remaining. One of her greatest passions was knitting, through which she showed great energy and creativity, making friends all around the world through the Ravelry website. She devoted herself to ensuring that her children had the best possible start in life and provided support for her husband in all that he did. We could never have achieved so much without her guidance and encouragement in all our choices. We are distraught to have lost such a wonderful wife and mother but are grateful that she lived and contributed so much to our lives. She will be with us always in our hearts. Chris really appreciated the care she received at St Luke's and the difference this made to the quality of her life in that time. Her last few days were managed with dignity and grace and you could tell from her response that she was grateful for this. She wanted to repay this by raising funds for St Luke's and any contribution that you make, big or small, will help them provide care for those in need.
