Sorry to hear the news. Can't really add to what others have said except that a few years ago I went through a similar process with my father. I was local to him but I'm not sure that necessarily makes it any easier. It is a tough road to travel.
Richard.

So terribly terribly sorry Dave. Can't think what else to say. I'm sure we all offer you our heartfelt condolences.

Aww I'm sorry Dave, I'm happy that she didn't stay here for a long time in pain though.  | | | | Quote: May your kindred, in love and blood, on both sides of the gates, be with you at this time.
May her journey be short and her step light. May you hear her as she calls out to you at the gate, and know that she is with her kin, in love and friendship, blood and inspiration. There will be many to welcome her.
May you share the halls with her in good time, neither too soon nor too late. May your children outlive you, and their children outlive them, and may you have time to sit with them and tell them the stories of your Mother and your love.
Cattle die, kindred die, all of us die, but one thing remains in this world - the reputation of a good person. | | | | |

What everyone else has said. They said it far better than I could.
Keep strong, Dave. At least you managed to see your Mum before she left.

Very sad news, Dave, and I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. I don't know how close you and your Mum were, but she was your Mum and regardless you're going to feel the loss. My condolences to you and your family. Mark

As others have said, my condolences are with you and your family.
Keep strong and remember they are never gone if you treasure the memories you have.

Thanks everybody.
Don't know what I am doing at the moment, one minute I'm crying the next totally rational and want to get on with work, then crying again... Will probably go home in a bit. Just drinking a coffee and trying to collect my thoughts.
Because of the leukemia, I think I feel some relief that it is all over for her...

Have already tweeted you, but again, condolences Dave.
I know exactly what you mean about the relief thing. Watching the suffering is just as heartbreaking as the loss. However, work shouldn't be in the equation for a few days!
