This is just to let friends know about another quick and simple fundraiser for St John's Hospice, as a Christmas thank-you for all they did for Debbie.
She co-wrote a song called 'Name Above All Names' with Alan Porteous, and our son Jono recorded it with the help of some friends. Click hereto download the track.
We would appreciate it if you made a donation - however small - in thanksgiving to go to St John's Hospice via their donations page.
Lancaster Priory is hosting a concert by Yvonne Lyon in memory of Debbie. It will be in support of St John's Hospice, who cared for Debbie so well in the final weeks of her life.
The concert will be on Tuesday 13 September at 7-30pm, and will form part of the Priory's festival week. You can find out about purchasing tickets here.
The concert will feature songs from Yvonne's album 'Held'. Yvonne co-wrote songs on the album with people who had some experience of bereavement, and manages to capture the sadness, but also the hope and joy in the stories that were shared.
Here's a performance from earlier this year of one of the tracks from the album: 'Till We Meet Again'
Debbie is very happy and relieved to be staying in St John's Hospice. They are keeping her comfortable and out of any pain, and we are all appreciating the love and care they show in all that they do for Debbie. She is very tired, and communication is increasingly a challenge, so she is no longer able to engage directly with Facebook, blogs and email. However, I am checking from time to time and I'll do my best to pass on the greetings and good wishes I have found.
