I would like to say a big thank-you to all the staff and volunteers who work for The Martlets Hospice in Hove.

My grandaughter Diana has had cancer for almost five years and has spent time on and off there during her young life. She has always been treated like royalty and, as her grandmother who has brought her up from an early age, The Martlets' staff have and continue to take a huge burden from me with their unstinting help.

In these sad days, The Martlets is a shining beacon through the darkness to all who need help - all the angels aren't in Heaven.

I hope people who can will continue to contribute a little to help them because no charges are made. God bless The Martlets Hospice and thank you so much.
