Mum's touching promise to husband after he was diagnosed with cancer

A mum has been praised for her compassion and chosen as one of the winners of our Local Heroes competition.

Jean and Edward Devlin met on holiday in Malta - both had been in previous long term relationships in which they both had children, but they "clicked" upon their first meeting and later, in 2004, the couple were married.

Jean and Edward would spend over a dozen years together, and as the end of Edward's life drew near Jean cared for him, "making him comfortable" and reminiscing about their beautiful life together.
