What's around the corner?

It was with great sadness that I learnt on Saturday of the death of Jenny Adcock - wife to Steve - from cancer on Friday. I met Steve and Jenny through the UK Deauville forum, regularly riding out with them after meeting up with them in Rennesse, Holland at DmD in 2006. Steve had only retired a month ago so it is all the more painful that Jenny won't be there with him after all their years of marriage.

The last time I saw Jenny was on the BBC Radio Derby ride for Children in Need appeal from Claycross back to the Radio Derby offices. As usual she was her cheerful, smiling, happy self. She was having a few health problems but that was nothing new and it did nothing to change her happy, bouncy demeanour. She posed with Pudsy bear for photographs and if she and Steve knew anything then, they said nothing. On Monday 15th November she went into hospital as aranged, on Friday 19th she was another victim claimed by cancer.

Right now all out thoughts and prayers are with and for Steve in this time of great loss and sadness. I just hope that Jenny has left him with enough happy memories to see him through these difficult times as I know that she will be dearly missed.
