John Hunter Memorial Evening / Noreen Hunter

31 January Tony Curran sends the news that Noreen Hunter of Sixmilecross, Co. Tyrone, whose husband John died three months ago, is seriously ill, and may need a liver transplant.

***************

3 February Tony reports:

I visited with Noreen at the Royal Victoria Hospital last evening. She was in good spirits, and in much better form than last week. She is due to take further tests, but is hopeful that she will be discharged home to Sixmilecross on Thursday/Friday of this week. More long term, she will have to travel to London in 4-6 weeks time to assess her suitability for a transplant.

In the meantime, she has expressed a wish that the benefit (for the NI Chest, Heart & Stroke Association) in John’s memory should take place as scheduled on 16 February.

A poster for the show appears above; please note that it will be held at the Flax Mill Centre, Drumduff, Co. Tyrone (not Fermanagh; editorial error), starting at 8.30 p.m. Tony sends this link to a location map.
