I advised on here that when I returned home from a match, my wife had been taken to hospital, it is with great sadness that after a short illness my wife, Gillian, passed away in her sleep last evening.
We met when we were teenagers and had been married for over 44 years and during that time The Addicks were always uppermost in her mind on match days, although in her latter years, with two sons and living in Colchester she shared her loyalties with the local club, but not forgetting her upbringing in Blackheath.
On 6th October 2002 she was awarded the MBE for her services as a carer, an honour achieved by hard work and patience among the sick and infirmed in the community.

I'm so so sorry to hear that VV.
I'm sure that the grief you're feeling will be mixed with happiness that you shared so many years together with her and your sons, and that she obviously did exceptional things with her life.
God bless you and Gillian x

Really don't know what to say VV other than I think I know how I would feel if my wife of only 32 years passed away. She sounds a wonderful lady, it's so sad that she has gone, but you must be so proud of her.

I am so sorry to hear that Ted, when I left my computer an hour ago I never expected to return to such sad news.
My heart felt condolences go out to yourself and your boys, from everything that you have posted above, Gillian was a Mother and a Wife that you can all be very proud of.
My thoughts are with you
