Well, what can we say about our beautiful mum Joyce, She was an adored wife, a loving and generous
mum and nan. She was married to Tommy for 39 years, she had 3 daughters, Tracy, Paula and
Lindsey, and 6 Grandchildren Emma, Megan Conor, Ellie, Charlie(bucket as mum would call him) and
Libby, and she would have been made up as our Emma his having a baby in 6weeks time, mums first
great grandchild, she would have been the proudest nan on the earth. Mum was just 57 years old when
she passed away and what a shock it was to us. It all started in June 04 she started getting pins
and needles in her fingers, and eventually it went to her hands and feet, when she started
vomiting and she could'nt keep her meals down that was when she was put in hospital. She was in
hospital for 6 weeks and we had all kinds of specialists in and out to see her, eventually a doctor
from the Walton Neurological Hospital came and said that mum had Paraneoplastic Neurological
Syndrome and only 12 people out of 3.5 million get it, and it came with cancer, to say our world
fell apart is an understatement. She came home from hospital on the 11th December 04 just in time
for Tracy and Paulas birthdays. Mum couldn't feed, bathe or walk so we all had to do our fair
share, it was hard but it had to be done. With mum not being able to feed herself properly, she
tried her best to feed herself on Christmas Day(and she did good). We always said that we would like
a family Christmas Dinner,but we decided againt it that year to give mum a rest, how I wish we
should have had one now. We had to take mum for a MRI scan after Christmas and we got the results of
that scan on 31st December 2004, the news we had always feared mum had cancer, they had found a
tumour on her lung. Devastated is not the word, we were heartbroken. On 6th January was Lindseys
birthday we celebrated by all of us having a chippy meal(me and mum sharing her favourite
Beansprouts and Noodles), mum really enjoyed it. On 7th January 2005 Mum took bad at the house, I
went to get my friend Lorraine who is a nurse and she tried to help mum the best she could until the
ambulance arrived. Mum passed away on 7th January 2005 with all her family with her. Mum is
reunited with her mum, dad, her brother Billy and her loving sister Ann.
On the 25th November 2007, Mum became the proud great Grandma to her first Great Granchild MAISIE
JOYCE MARSH, weighing in at 5LB 12OZ.
