I Had a letter from the Local Lions club inviting me to a fund raising –guess what, which charity — Meso UK. they saw me on Sunday on Telly Bless and her son- inlaw has just been diagnosed I will try and persuade him to join the Warriors but I was able to help on the phone for him to go and get a second opinion. You cant tell a young man in his 40’s that there is nothing for him. We have heard that so many times. So I will be going to a Murder Mystery evening in our local community centre.
Another friend has Emailed me (we have many people who dont want to be on Face Book so like Jan I have Mesowarriors that we keep in contact with and help as much as we can.
But I hate to see another warrior has gone over the Rainbow Bridge .
Hi Mavis,
I wanted to thank you for your time, advice and hope you provided through the passed 12 months.
Unfortunately we lost our father to mesothelioma on Sunday. I truly hope time is a healer.
Wishing you all the best in your continued fight. X

So sad as well as another sad day as Jan lost her battle this morning . Gosh it seems the world is crying as so many people have message d me and spoke on face book all about the wonder lady she was. It funny I went to bed knowing she was in her last sleep with her husband Gary and her to lovely dogs. But I couldnt sleep and then found I had been in and out of sleep. I woke up at 3 and gradually the room went cold and my nose felt funny as that was even colder. it warmed up at 4.30.
I put on face book when I found out at 7 that she had gone in peace. Then I found out she had died at 5.15. but her breathing had change about an hour before . I love that the thought that she might have passed by to say goodbye.
Later on my Facebook played up and put the things, I was writing on in our flower club, on about 3 or 4 times on one entry repeating itself. The other warriors in the club said it was ok on theirs. I said I know it was Debbie and Jan to let me know they had met up, well I love to know that they had and they would play as Debbie was like that .
So we say goodbye to Jan so sad xx
Natashia put a lovely photo on I do love the word s
Fly away my angel,
Spread your wings and fly;
Take the beauty of your soul,
And share it with the sky.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Take the warmth within your heart,
And put the sun to shame;
The glow of summer’s sunlight.
Will never be the same.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Take the strength within your soul,
From your heart, the tenderness there;
Behold the majesty of the sky,
It’s beauty does not compare.
☆ ☆♥ ☆ ☆
Take the splendour of the stars,
That twinkle in the sky;
It fades in the matchless sparkle,
Of the beauty there in your eyes.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Fly away my Angel,
For I have set you free;
I will wait here patiently,
Until you fly back to me. — with Jan Egerton in Heighington.

Am devastated at the news about Jan, for so long she has been such a constant in our world. I know there was so much pain at the the end , rest in peace Jan , our thoughts are with you.
Hi Mavis
Thank you for your post about Jan . I was so deeply sorry to read that jan had died although I realised it was close.
My husband Robert died a year ago of meso and throughout his illness your blog and Jans encouraged him to keep going . We read them every week and cannot express how much they meant to us.
If you can would you express to jans husband my deep sadness for his loss and gratitude to him for all the strength and courage he showed as
this always kept me going when things
were difficult . X Cheryl thankyou
Hi Cheryl Im so sorry you have lost your husband to this awful disease But so pleased Jan and I helped. Thats why we write in the hope we can give hope to people that the 6 months they gave us at the start is just not right. They dont take into account how people want to live and that fight takes them on into years not months
I will miss Jan as we all messaged everyday and spoke to each other and the world on Face book.
Keep well xx Love Mavis
Bless you Mavis and your family for all the strength and optimism you hold for yourself and all of us who have lived with all the sadness of this disease and continue even now to everyday with its legacy .
This is the first time I have spoken to you Mavis whilst following your blog and reading your blog out loud to Robert whilst he struggled to come to terms with his life ……I would say listen to what Mavis has to say ….he was always lifted , encouraged to not give up often smiling .
Thankyou for your reply . You have all our best wishes each day to stay well and keep going . XCheryl
Thats is very sweet and the reason I carry on each writing down my diary and telling how my day went.
Lots of luck and best wishes xxx
