Extremely sad news

I have been asked to pass on some very sad news.

Many of you will know (and love) Angela Huddart from the forum, her quilt patterns in the Magazine and from her blogs. I know that many of her close friends are aware of everything she has been through and given her so much support, but there will be a number on the forum that do not yet know what has happened.

Sadly her gorgeous Grandson Sam passed away peacefully on the 21/4/2017 after an extensive period in hospital. As Angela has previously posted he was born with heart problems and had bravely gone through a number of operations during his short life. Unfortunately the amazing care he had been given just wasn't enough.

Angela and her husband Ian have constantly supported their daughter Jenny throughout everything and all the family are now trying to come to terms with their loss and their grief. They are slowly having to adjust to life without Sam and to being back at home after spending many weeks at the hospital with him.

I know that their loss was a number of weeks ago but it was not appropriate to put the message up on the forum until Angela was ready. Angela does not yet feel up to telling everyone on the forum so has asked me to explain her absence to you all. She is not sure when she will feel like contributing on here, but says she will return in time.

I am sure that you all join in sending condolences, sympathies, and much love to all the family.
