Deeply loving about her family and friends, #DianaMelly wrote a moving chapter about caring for her husband George in our book #WhoCares? She did!
Patron of @dignityindying.org.uk Diana Melly died last weekend.
She was a loyal friend and strong advocate for patients’ wishes to be put at the centre of their care.
She was also a lot of fun.
