Karen was a born carer who dedicated her entire life to helping others, both through her professional career and private life. She was diagnosed with cancer in April 2016 and following radiotherapy she continued to help and care for those around her. After celebrating her 60th birthday on a cruise in May 2019 the endometrial cancer became more aggressive. Since then she has received the best of care from The Northern General, their palliative care unit, Western Park and finally at St Luke’s Hospice. It is therefore ironic but fitting that she spent her final days there among friends where she herself worked for 7 years. I cannot emphasise enough the quality of care they provide and the support to me and my family. 75% of their funding is through charitable donations. This fund is therefore a fitting tribute to both Karen's life and the wonderful care that St Lukes Hospice provide. Love John x

This donation is in memory of George Tindall - my uncle, my dad’s closest brother, father of John and a loving father-in-law to Karen. He was a good man who, like Karen, will be very much missed. Rest in peace. ♥️

Every day hurts a little. So much to recall, especially today. Your spirit lives on in all of us. Many wishes from many people still even after 5 years and from some who never even met you. Missing you as always and forever in my heart xxxx

Thoughts

Another Christmas on its way but it can never be the same without you there. I know how much you loved Christmas and you always made it such a special time. Think about you everyday and especially at this time of year.

Many thanks to Cole, our godson for taking the time, energy and consideration to running the Sheffield half marathon in memory of Karen. His fund raising efforts have been excellent and much appreciated by St Lukes xx

Whenever I hear a Motown track, the memories come flooding back Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye transport my thoughts to yesterday The music melts away the years and reveals the tracks of my tears My painted smile begins to crack, like the Jackson 5, I want you back If only the world could be more fair, I'd say reach out and I'll be there Alas, I know it cannot be, it's just my imagination running away with me. You would have been 61 today. Happy birthday wherever you are. Taken far too soon. We all miss you every day. All my love, now and always, your brother Kev.

Months go by and we are gripped in a health crisis. How would Karen have coped with this? Probably like everything else - head on, with no thought for herself. I am still in awe of the way she was nursed by St Lukes. Long may they continue.

I am missing the cuddles, the hugs that hug back and a hand to hold. The chat, the laughs and the look that says I love you x
