To the Treasured Memories of Margaret June Barney

Unfortunately on 19/11/2020, I lost my wife of 54 years to a GBM4 brain tumour.

Up until the last four months of her life, and for quite sometime, Margaret had been my carer, because of my own condition. The tables quickly turned. I have only just now found the time and courage to share this here.

For those who would wish to learn more then please use the following link:

Also find photo attached which shows details of login information, should any of you wish to follow her service online.

Many thanks,

Barry L. Barney

Most of us on this site have "lung" problems, either personally or within the family and it is easy to forget the other medical problems out there. I knew virtually nothing about cancer until a few years ago when my brother-in-law and former business partner was diagnosed with mesothelioma. 2 years later, aged only 51, my nephew dies after a glioblastoma took over his brain, and at same time other B-in-L liver cancer. 3 family losses out of the blue. Best wishes to all for end of year festivities and a safe and healthy new year.

The death of your wife must still be very raw for you Barry. My condolences to you and your family. No words I can say that will make you feel better. Except be gentle with yourself and regret nothing. Her love will always be there in your heart.
