00:00Hi guys, come on in.
00:10My name is Janine Jennings, I'm head of education for GHD UK and Ireland.
00:14We are in Edinburgh in Scotland.
00:16Terry was just always the person that was there for everybody.
00:19When I was growing up I was like, I want to be like my big sister.
00:22She went to the doctor and they told her on the spot that she had cancer.
00:26There was no emotion, it was almost like, we'll be fine, we'll get through it.
00:29We were coming up to that five-year point of her being in remission and cancer-free.
00:33The cancer was back but it was in her pancreas and in her liver.
00:36It was incurable.
00:37I sat down with her and she held my hand and she went, it's your turn to look after the
00:41family and I was, sorry.
00:45I just really hope that I make her proud every day and I miss her.

00:55I flag it.
