Dedicated to the memory of Lorna Hawk
This site is a tribute to Lorna Hawk, who was born in Ayrshire, Scotland on October 12, 1946, and passed away aged 77 at her home in Englefield Green surrounded by family and friends.
She fought her cancer with the same spirit that filled her life: with a smile on her face, and a quiet determination to make the most of her remaining time – especially with her husband John until he sadly passed away just over a year ago, her two children, and her five dear grandchildren.
She survived three years following diagnosis. This time was a priceless gift that meant the world to her and those around her. It would not have happened without the amazing work of the Royal Marsden Hospital, particularly Professor Popat's team.
The family would like to suggest in lieu of flowers any donations are made to others unfortunate enough to have to go through the same battle.
A few photos have been uploaded but if you have any photos of your own of times you have spent with Lorna / Mum, we would love you to share them here.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
