MABS Cancer Support Group President, Jacqui Phillips announced that Frances Sawyer, the Vice President of MABS and Jacqui's close friend had, very sadly, passed away during the night of 26/27th December. Jacqui wrote:
Frances and I had been very good friends for many years well before we both developed breast cancer.
She was diagnosed in 1997/98 and I was there for her not really knowing what the heck I was doing but I was the one she could rant and rave at when the going got hard. Then in 1998/99 I too developed cancer and she was there for me. She was my friend and confidant as I was hers.
Frances was a gentle Scottish lass from Aberdeen and was married to Geoffrey. They had 2 children Andrew and Alexandra now both adults. Her calming,charming voice was an inspiration to all who knew her as a friend and of course a supporter to many of the members of the Group.
I will miss her dreadfully both as a very dear friend and one of the founders of the Group.
On behalf of my husband Bernard, the committee of the Group, our many sponsors,supporters and members I give our very sincere condolences to Geoffrey, Andrew and Alexandra.
Jacqui Philips, MBE
MABS Cancer Support Group.
President
