Mum who was 'light in so many lives' dies at 39 just a day after wedding

Gemeila Howard, also known as Gemma, lost her battle with cancer on Saturday, April 23 after originally being diagnosed in 2019 with oesophageal cancer.

The 39-year-old, from Huyton, Merseyside, was set to undergo a major operation to help prolong her life after her initial diagnosis, but was later diagnosed with a Krukenberg tumour - a rare and specific type of tumour that grows in the ovaries - and told she had three months left to live.
