Monique Buckingham
The news of the death of Monique Buckingham, known to so many of us as @thelifeofmique, is beyond devastating. This beautiful young person had her whole life in front of her, and my thoughts at this very sad time are with her parents, Paul and Anne, and all her family and friends. What Monique went through, most of us will never be able to fully comprehend, and yet throughout she remained the most lovely, inspirational, warm and kind person you could ever wish to meet and become friends with. Bowel cancer is the most cruel and awful disease. Monique did everything she could to not just stay alive, but also to raise awareness so that others might not have to go through what she did.
