In loving memory of Nicola Sheppard

Thank you for visiting my Donate in Memory page for our dearest Nicola. A wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister and a perfect friend to many. Taken too soon after a brave fight. Nicola was an incredibly kind soul, and her thoughtfulness and compassion will be very sorely missed. Nicola had a lot of passions in life, including her love of music. From her first teenage obsessions with Wham and Bros to George Michael, Mary J Blige and more recently Gregory Porter. She was also a keen baker and was the dedicated birthday cake maker in the family. She whipped up a mean Victoria sponge and once made an incredible rainbow, multi layered cake for Kate’s birthday. So good in fact Barney the Labrador thought he’d take a lick! Nicola absolutely loved reading, her nose always in a book. You would always be sure to share your latest read with her, which she’d consume within a matter of days. Nicola greatest love though was her family and was a constant support to us all. What will we do without her? Despite battling this cruel illness for nearly 5 years she never once moaned and put on the bravest of all brave faces. She approached everything with incredible strength, positivity and a smile on her face. Something that we can all be inspired by. She would hate the thought of anyone else having to go through what she had gone through, so please donate to Cancer Research so that hopefully one day soon, no one else will have to lose someone as special and much-loved as Nicola. Cherished and loved by all. Cancer Research UK supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses.
