“I am the grandaughter of the women in question. I am very close to my grandmother and i shaw and looked after her every day along with my uncle and mother. My whole family are helping her through this terrible time and hoping for the best. However i do wish that you all keep your views to yourself if the are going to be disturbing "jokes" on the situation. We are all hurting very much inside and i feel so much for my grandmother is in the condition she is. She is a fighter and a true lady who always laughed and joked along with me. I hope that people who are making jokes realise this is not a joking matter or there concern. God know you would all react if this happened to a member of your family and people were making "sickening" jokes. Keep your throughts to yourself if you have nothing nice to say. Thankyou all that have respected my family and please all pray for my wounderfull grandmother”
