Hi Rosee,

You don't know me - I'm Kitty (or Kath) and a good friend of Clares.

Thank you for the email. I've been very lucky tho - along with Julie - Ann and Sid have allowed me to see Clare whilst she has been so very ill. I was with Julie when Sid told us she was terminal. It has been such a shock and so heartbreaking. I usually speak to Clare every day - to me...she is my best friend.

I saw her yesterday aswell and was happy to see that one of the Doctors who was looking after her was someone I had worked with before (I'm a nurse). He's very handsome and I hoped that put a bit of a spring in her spirit. I've not seen her since she moved to the Oncology ward last night, as I am now on night duty. I will go in and see her on Friday. Julie and I speak every day and plan on having a drink for her after we visit Friday night (Australia Day drinks - I'm Australian - and Clare would normally be out on such a night).

Anyway, Clare used to tell me about you and spoke of you fondly. It was clear you are her very good friend. Something you no doubt know...but I thought I'd mention it all the same.

Take Care.

Kitty .
