Gillian Boardman (5 Feb 1967 - 15 Dec 2016)

We are all deeply hurt by Gillian's death, but we witnessed an outstanding example of love as James toiled endlessly to ensure Gillian was able to live out her remaining days with a clear mind and surrounded by her family rather than just wait for the inevitable end in a hospital bed.
Gillian's determination and inner strength made that possible of course but it was the combined "three-fold cord" that ensured it succeeded.
Well done James and all our love to you and your Family.

I have fond memories of my studies with Gillian, many scriptures committed to memory thanks to her training! A kind, generous sister, who I look forward to seeing again in Jehovah's new world. Much love to James, Saffron and Poppy xx

Our deep, warm affection and admiration for all of you. xx

Loving, quirky and very kind. Absolutely heart broken to lose my Aunty Gillian. A huge loss for our family and the community she was a part of. All our love to James, Saffron and Poppy during this difficult time. Ben & Natasha xxx

Thank you to all the staff for looking after Gillian Boardman so well. Please continue your great work

I will always be so thankful for the love and care Gillian has shown me over the years. I look forward to seeing her again soon, happy, healthy and reunited with her loving family. All my love. Jen. Xxx

I will always be so thankful for the love and care that Gillian has shown me over the years - supporting me through some really tough times and setting such a wonderful example. I'm looking forward to seeing her again soon, happy, healthy and reunited with her loving family. Lots of love and prayers. Jen Xxx

Thank you for caring so well for my dear wife in her final months

Such a brave lady and a brave family! Thinking of you all xx

James has been a solid, brave and loyal husband for Gillian. If I can look after Saffron half as well as James has looked after Gillian, I would be chuffed to bits.

All my love.
Until we see Gillian again. ?

We have all looked on and watched how admirably you have all coped with the situation these last few months. Gillian was cared for right to the end by family and friends who cared for her very much. Even Gillian herself was so positive and enjoyable to be around despite her suffering. We look forward to welcoming our dear sister back one day very soon, but in the meantime will be a support for James, Saffron, Ben & Poppy.
Much love
Jen, Amber, Freya & Isla xx

I don't know what to say to you all x I'm heartbroken for you and the girls James. Gillian was always so courageous even if she didn't feel like it. She was a truly beautiful lady and will be missed by so many. Lean on your friends and Jehovah now. All our love Cathryn and family and Sue Cottenden
