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. ♥️

It's not much, but I wanted to show how grateful I am, for the loving care our Karen received. That alone, is very much a comfort to the family, as she deserved that, at the least. Our Karen was a beautiful lady, in all ways possible, and we will always aspire, to be a little more Karen. I love you, our Karen. And, we are trying to take care of your John the best we can. Sleep well, beautiful ❤️

It has been 4 years since you passed away. I have had constant reminders today of your last few weeks, days and hours. I am no closer to understanding why. You are sadly missed by many and the love continues to flow in from our friends and families, so much that it can be overwhelming. I hope you are sleeping soundly, my love xxx

The world we knew changed forever in 2019. Losing Karen was a blow to many people, but her light still shines. Not a day passes by without a reminder of the beautiful person that she was. I would have sung the song When I’m 64 to you today and she would have smiled. Where we we have been, Whitby? Sorento? Or just happily sat at home with each other? Happy Heavenly Birthday, my Angel❤️

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
