R.I.P. Fiona Day (campaign member/helper)

Postby DaveD » 30 Nov 2010, 00:27

Hi all,

I have the very saddest of sad news to pass on that my partner, Fiona Day, sadly died in the early hours of Monday morning aged just 33. She had been ill for some time but not in a life-threatening capacity, so this has come as enormous shock.

She thought a lot of this campaign and met a lot of people involved at one point or another, as well as helping out on occasion at certain events. She was a wonderful, beautiful, kind and generous person who will be greatly missed.

If anyone wishes to send cards etc, the address is 1 Heatherwood Close, Kingswood, Maidstone, Kent ME17 3QW.


Thank you, Dave D

Fiona was a kind, generous and utterly gracious person, who helped the Campaign out with a smile. Even when helping us out meant she found herself in Margate in the early hours of the morning...

I am so very sorry Dave.

My deepest sympathy and most sincere thanks.
How wonderful that we were blessed to have shared this experience with her!
Even as someone I didn't know, being involved here, I can tell she made a difference, and that's more than many people achieve in 90 years.

Thank you all for your kind messages, it means a great deal and thank you for taking the time to do so.

Her funeral service was yesterday and she had a wonderful turnout - she was very well loved by so many.

She admired the effort and time that people have put into this campaign against such strong opposition at times and was pleased to be a member and occasional active part of it. Long illness prevented her being involved as much as she would like to have been.

I hope she will be looking down when we have finally realised our dream. Thank you all again so much.
