Dedicated to the memory of Claire Blackeby

This site is a tribute to Claire. She is much loved and will always be remembered.

She sadly succumbed to her battle with Cancer on the 16th November 2022, which she had been diligently fighting for 3.5 years.  

Her fortitude (perhaps pig headiness) throughout to keep a resemblance of normal life for those around her (many of which had no idea what she was even ill), and focus on our daughter Bailey was remarkable.

We will miss her greatly x

Thoughts

I just wanted to get in touch to say so sorry for your loss and thank you so much for setting up a Tribute Page in memory of Claire for Willen Hospice, to help us be there for others in their time of need. Your incredible support will help us to continue to support people and families at the hardest time of their lives. You might be interested to know about remembering them in another way: Getting an engraved leaf on our Tree of Life The Tree of Life and surrounding Peace Garden are there to help celebrate loved ones lives. A place for families and friends to spend time and remember in a peaceful and tranquil setting. An engraved leaf with a personalised message is a poignant and lasting tribute to a loved one, if they passed away at the hospice or somewhere else. Donations for it will help us to be there for others, see here for more: https://www.willen-hospice.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/tree-of-life We simply cannot provide amazing care for people at the end of their lives without the support of people like you. Willen Hospice does everything we can so people feel relief from pain and families can enjoy the precious moments they have left with each other. Do let me know if we can help in any other way.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
