I was at Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen at the same time as Siwsann. Sadly we wer both in hospital at the same time in October 2003 and both suffering from the same condition. I found out she was in hospital through my sister who saw her in the coffee shop. Whilst waiting for her surgery, she came to see me a couple of times when she was fit enough to reach my ward. It was great to be able to talk with someone going through the same emotional strain as I was. We saw each other at times in Velindre hospital as well.

This news has only just reached me as I was away on holiday when her death was announced. It has come as a shock to me that it happened so suddenly.

I shall be forever grateful for the time and effort she made to spend some time at my bedside. My deepest condolences to her family.
