Kathleen Ann Dennis

I have a few members of my family on Gts already so it is only right my lovely nan is too...

It is 15yrs since she passed now, but I remember it like it was yesterday despite me being only 13
at the time.

My nan was a lovely lady, real sensitive soul who like everybody and everybody liked her.

She loved going to the cinema and playing bingo until her later years when she became wheelchair
bound due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. She refused to face the world in her wheelchair - or 'the fire
engine' as she used to call it because of it being bright red! She felt ashamed and hated anyone
seeing her in it and became what I suppose some people would describe as a recluse. She wasnt a big
tv fan, she much prefered listening to the radio. Thats probably where my love of music comes from
because im exactly the same and very rarely watch tv.

The details of her death are a little hazy now because like i said earlier I was only 13 at the time
and my grandad & my mum (her daughter) have now passed over too so I cannot ask anyone if my memory
is serving me correct! All I remember is hearing my mum tell others that my nan had been on a tablet
called Ativan which i believe is now banned in the uk, and the effects of the tablet caused a tear
in her colon. I remember her being in hospital for a few days before she passed and on the day she
was due to come home my mum had a phonecall at half six in the morning to say that the nurse had
been taking her blood pressure when it had suddenly dropped and she was gone. A peaceful passing
which we were thankful for because death was my nans biggest fear.

The death certificate states peritonitis caused by a ruptured colon.

My grandad was taken by cancer on the 1st May 2007, so he is now reunited with my nan and they are
also buried together now in Chatham, Kent x
