I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend - and what a shame she didn't get to realise her ambition.

I thought as I was reading this that the story sounded oddly familiar; it was when I got to 'Gloucestershire' that I realised why - I'd read it in the local news. There are a couple of nice comments on the website.

what a small world - I didn't realise you lived in that neck of the woods - lovely area. Lynne was from Moreton-in-Marsh and the Celebratory day om 22nd was held at St James' in Chipping Campden.

Lynne was truly amazing, and packed so much into her short life she was an inspiration to us all. I did write a message in the 'guest book' that features in the Times Online Obituary section . I still find it hard to know that I'll never see her again -I knew all was not good when for the first time she didn't reply to a text I'd sent her late October, as she was always a prompt responder!

I'm in Cheltenham. :)

Was she in 'Other Lives' in the Times? I always read that section when I'm at my parents' house (dad buys the Times every day) - such interesting lives, so well lived.
