Provost shares memories of late mum who battled MND

"It took a long time for her to be diagnosed. Looking back, I reckon she had it for at least a couple of years before diagnosis.

- 

"About four weeks after her diagnosis, I realised she was not coping. I asked her if she wanted to come and live with me - outlining that she would be with me to the end. She didn't need to be asked twice and our relationship made it a very easy move.

"She also got on extremely well with my husband, who honed his cooking skills by creating special dishes for her that she could eat easily as her MND progressed, and before she had to have a feeding tube fitted.

"She was a great mum - very liberal for her generation and wildly funny. She was young-minded, fashionable, beautiful and very well-liked.
