Caron said that when you are fighting cancer, family & friends are everything
with Caron was a comfort to them both and told how she empathises with Sarah’s mother Marie, 80.
She says: “I was glad to hear that Sarah’s mum is helping her through this very difficult time. It’s very hard for close family to know the best way to give support and know what to say. “I celebrated the end of Caron’s chemotherapy by organising a surprise trip to Paris. I turned up at her home at 6.30am with a car waiting outside to take us to the Eurostar. “We had the most blissful day. We shopped and talked as we always did.” After her diagnosis, TV presenter Caron relocated
BANDMATES Nadine, Cheryl, KImberley, Sarah & Nicola to Australia with her husband Russ and sons Charlie and Gabriel as she was attracted by the sunshine and complementary therapies offered there.
Gloria travelled Down Under nine times during the two-and-a-half years Caron lived there and there were precious, reflective times when the pair relived happy memories. She recalls: “One of Caron’s favourite memories was when we were living in County Down. When her dad was at golf, we would buy a big chocolate roulade and sit watching black and white films beside the fire.
“When your life goes under the microscope, it’s interesting the things you remember – little comforting things, always about family and home.
“As Caron wrote in her notebook, when you’re fighting cancer, you realise that family and close friends are everything. So Sarah, we are all with you and wishing you strength and positivity.”
