Yes, well said, Jimbo. I am glad that Julie is better, but very sorry about your sister. After going through the passing of Phantom and Lincoln, I'm ready for some good news. Hopefully, they caught the cancer soon enough to be treated. Please give Julie my love and tell her that she can pull through with the help of all of us who love her.

Hi folks,
Julie has had a relapse in her condition and has been moved to an isolation ward at Pinderfields hospital in Wakefield,she is on a course of antibiotics and they are considering surgery.
Pinderfields do not accept flowers so please do not send any there.
Julie's mum's funeral took place last week and poor Jules could not attend.
Updates as and when I can.

Thank you for the update Jimbo. Please keep us posted. I mentioned before that my 92 year old dad met Julie some years ago. Please, let her know that Denise's dad, Dennis, is thinking of her and praying for her. They got on like a house on fire, Dad teasing her (he is an outrageous flirt!!!), with comments like "What has Steve Harley got that I havent???" etc, etc. you can imagine!!!
Do you have an address for the hospital? I so want to be personally in touch with my friend and send a card - But I'll be guided by your advice.
Many thanks
Denise
