Grace Dovell - in memory

9/3/2014

Grace Dovell passed away on Wednesday morning (5th March 2014) after battling with cancer since 2005. On her 70th birthday I remember cycling 84 miles with her, a remarkable feat for someone of her age. She was then a fit cyclist and was planning to cycle from Seville to Santiago de Compostella with Sue Etheridge, Alan, an old friend from Aberdeen, and me in June of 2005. She had to pull out of that trip to undergo surgery, and her health took a rapid turn for the worst after treatment. Grace was the sort of person who never admitted defeat and was optimistic to the end. She will be missed by all those who knew her.


"I'll miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul"
