[Margaret Pilkington]

I have said in the past that Accyweb feels like my family....so it is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Dorothy(my Mum) an amazing and well loved lady died on The 5th of February.

Mum was Caretaker of Woodnook St Mary's in Belfield Road, so many of those who went to that school will know her.
I know that many of you who read my blogs will have read of our adventures and escapades...so may feel some connection

Mum specified before she died that there was to be no obituary in the local press...she promised she would haunt me if I did not follow her wishes.
I am hoping that Accyweb does not count.

Mum was a feisty, independent lady of indomitable spirit.
I have done my best to keep her going for as long as possible, but life had just become so wearisome, she was so tired and there was little in life that gave her joy in those last couple of weeks.
So she put her earthly burden down and left us.
Even in death she thought of others....she left her earthly overcoat to be unpicked by medical students...her lining to be investigated so that others may learn.

It made me smile(just a little) to find out last Thursday that Mum, at the age of 90 had got a place at Liverpool University in the medical faculty.

Mum,you were bloody amazing...and if I can be one tenth as good as you have been I will be happy.
Night night, God Bless.
