Thread Name: BS: Obit Jane McGrath Wife of Glen McGrath
Subject: BS: Obit Jane McGrath Wife of Glen McGrath
It is particularly sad when somebody dies of breast cancer, but for me this is particularly sad as it has happened to the wife of a man I have the greatest respect for.
I know he will almost certainly not read this, but never the less my deepest sympathy goes to Glen McGrath and his family.
Quote Tributes have been paid to Jane McGrath, the wife of former Australian fast bowler Glenn, who died on Sunday aged 42 after a long battle with cancer.
She died peacefully at home with her husband and their children, James and Holly, by her side after her health had deteriorated in the past week following surgery in March.
She had battled her illness for more than 10 years and the couple worked to promote breast cancer awareness, starting up their own foundation to raise money for research and training nurses.
The couple's charity work was recognised earlier this year when they were appointed as Members of the Order of Australia. Unquote
