Hello family and friends, 

We have created this page because we have lost a very special person to breast cancer and we want to honour her memory.

Nessie has asked that instead of flowers we make a contribution to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s work to raise much needed funds for more research. 

Our beautiful Nessie will forever live in our hearts. To honour her memory please press the ‘Donate’ button.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to Nessie and her family.
