Meet the get well soon cards from Craiglang
Sharon over the moon at message
IF they turned up at your hospital bed, they would probably steal your grapes.
But that hasn’t stopped one Still Game fan battling a rare genetic disease from being absolutely thrilled when she received a get well message from Jack and Victor.
Sharon McNeilly, 43, from Cumbernauld, suffers from the rare Von Hippel Lindau syndrome, an inherited disorder causing multiple tumours, both benign and malignant, in the central nervous system.
Sharon has already had four brain operation store move tumours as well as spinal surgery and is due to go in for surgery on Monday.
Her husband Andrew, who is recovering from cancer himself, bumped into actors Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill as they filmed around Glasgow this week and asked if they would send a special message to her. The lads went one better by videoing themselves in character delivering a get well message that looks like an excerpt from Still Game.
In their message Greg says: “Hello Sharon, we hear that you are recovering from a major operation.”
Ford adds: “We’re here to say we’re wishing you all the best in your recovery and we hope that you’re Still Game.”
Sharon, who managed to get home for a few days from hospital before the big op, said: “I can’t stop smiling about this. Ford and Greg are absolutely fantastic.
“I’ve been a fan of Still Game ever since it first was performed as a stage show years ago.
“I’m absolutely over the moon that I have a personalised Jack and Victor message.”
Sharon’s husband Andrew added: “The lads were only too happy to put a smile on her face.”
