hello to anyone who may recognise the name in the thread title;
Pam Young (my mum) was a sheffield writer who was active in the writing scene in and around sheffield for many years up until she had a stroke in jan 06. She used to go to the sticky bun writers and was a long time member at heeley writers and various groups associated with them.
My mum sadly passed away on 25th April following a short illness, and a long very brave fight with the effects of her stroke. the stroke, unfortunately, took away her ability to write and understand written word - perhaps the most cruelest kind of stroke - and she found it very hard to communicate, and her biggest frustration was not being able to do the one thing that brought joy to her life - write.
Quite a few members of heeley writers attended her funeral - and id like to thank them for their love and support over the years - they brought life and love to her retirement years and she adored all of you.
thanks for reading this,
