A mum who was the "light in so many people's lives" died the day after her wedding.
Gemeila Howard, also known as Gemma, lost her battle with cancer on Saturday 23 April at Willowbrook Hospice. The 39-year-old, from Huyton, spoke to the ECHO back in 2019 after she was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and was set to undergo a major operation to help prolong her life.
She 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. After she was given the devastating news, Gemeila decided to get married to her long term partner Antony Howard straight away.
