A mum who "left a mark on every person she met" died the day after getting married. Gemeila Howard, also known as Gemma, had arranged the wedding after being given the devastating news that she only had three months to live.
Gemeila, 39, originally spoke to the Liverpool Echo in 2019 as she prepared to undergo a major operation to try and prolong her life, after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. But she was later diagnosed with a Krukenberg tumour - a rare and specific type of tumour that grows in the ovaries - and tragically told that she would die within three months..
On April 22 she married her long-term partner Antony Howard. She passed away at Willowbrook Hospice, in Merseyside, the following evening.
