“The doctor informed us that Pia had developed pancreatic cancer. We were stunned. This happened to us never imagined. Pia was a personal trainer, and a fitness instructor so she was very fit. We just couldn\u2019t understand why this had happened to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We made a vow to defeat the disease in order to be with our children.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>unfortunately it didn\u2019t work out that way.<\/p>\n

“Tragically, Pia passed away on 8 September 2021 \u2013 just over 10 months from her first diagnosis. It\u2019s horrendous that she has been taken away from us so early.”<\/p>\n

After being introduced at school, they have been together for 27+years.<\/p>\n
