Dame Deborah James has died after her fight with bowel cancer. What a brave young lady she was. May she now rest in peace.

So sad and she was so young and had a young family too.

There's never a right time but this was certainly the wrong time for the poor young lady and her family.

I don't think she was brave. I think she was very scared, I think she put on a brave face. My hubby has had a bad cancer and went to pieces but put on a brave face to everyone. Rip to this lovely lady and well respected and love to her children and family. xx

My thoughts were that she was brave because she was scared Ann. But how wonderful that she managed to collect over 6.5 million pounds for the charity. I feel very sad for her family to have lost such a lovely person.
