Jane McGrath
We are all feeling sad after Jane's death. It brings death so much closer to us as individuals. Becky, Jane was diagnosed in 1997, but did not have a recurrence until 2002. She and her well known husband appeared on a popular chat show in 2004 (I think that was the year) and she came across as a warm, funny and courageous person, as did her husband. Her funeral is today, and $200,000 have been donated by the Australian public to her foundation since her death last week. I fel very sad for all her loved ones and for her death at such a young age.
