Dotti 34
I have had some sad news from Dotti 34(although I know her as Dorothy) this morning.
Dotti lost her husband, her soulmate and best friend this morning. Keith had been diagnosed with lung cancer more than a year ago. He had some chemotherapy but that was soon abandoned.( he thought they were trying to kill him off) For quite a while he was what the medics call 'stable'. However recently, he has been in hospital while they tried to get a very nasty infection under control. Yesterday, it was Keith and Dorothy's 62nd wedding anniversary. They had a bedside party, with the best whisky, songs, music and jokes. All the family were there....to make sure it was a good 'do'. This was just how Keith wanted it. Once the party was over it was just the two of them...holding hands. He slipped away without fuss. I am sure that the Accyweb family will want to offer their condolences...so I am posting this with Dorothy's approval. Rest in Peace Keith. Dorothy, I send you and your family my sincere condolences.

Re: Dotti 34
Thank you, Margaret, for posting this for me and for your kind words throughout Keith's latest and final battle. They have meant a lot. I am also posting a blog as the final one in the story of Keith's journey since being diagnosed with cancer.

Sorry for your loss, if there's a good way to go it sounds like that's exactly what you gave your husband, he sounds a very brave man
