Isabel McMillan

I have delayed for a while writing about Isabel McMillan.    She died in the spring this year and she was my sister's mother-in-law.    She was a lovely kind woman who saw the good in everyone.  She radiated kindness and loved a good gossip.    She knitted 0000's of hats for premature babies and during all her various cancerous illnesses, never really complained.     She also managed to defeat life threatening illness until long after it was thought (by the boffins) that she could.    She was amazing.    Her huge family were so fortunate to have such a lovely mother and mother-in-law and granny and auntie and sister and friend.    She will be remembered for ever by those who knew her, that's for sure, and I am one of them.

I remember her husband Jimmy - he passed away a few years ago - a quiet and talented man who worked all his years in a foundry and never seemed to ask for much.    They were a grand couple who quietly and proudly brought up a grand family.

Isabel - much loved
