Alex (aka Wiggy) was the second child born of Gary Wignall and Patricia Wignall nee Wright. She had an older sister called Suzanne Wignall. Alex was lively and bubbly and always walked with her head held high. She was the mother of the group 'the seven deadly sins' and always gave them advice on their troubles and problems. Her closest and best friend who was also her cousin was Cheryl Kitching.
At the age of 15, Alex discovered a lump on her right leg whilst on a holiday with family. When they returned home, Alex went to the doctors to find out that the lump was cancerous. The cancer she had was a rare form called 'synovial sarcoma' which is a soft tissue cancer. She was given chemo theropy but she turned out to be one of the 40% of people who don't respond to chemo so her leg was opperated on and the cancer was removed, she was left with a horrific, huge scar covering a large portion of her leg, she was always conscious of people staring at it, but her strong character meant she could easily shrug it off. A few months later the cancer returned in her lungs she was given a different form of chemo but this also failed so she underwent another opperation but it turned out that she must have had the cancer in her blood already. Alex ended up with many small and large scars all over her body from about 4 opperations, 1 skin graft , many laser treatments and lots of places where big wires had been poked in and out of her body. I watched her go through things that would have been unbearably painfull for most people but she would hardly even flinch because she prefered to put on a brave face so as not to upset others.
Alex was always brave and lived her life to the full, she refused to show signs of pain or upset and was determined to beat the cancer. When she first discovered she had cancer her exact words where "it's ok it'll never beat me" and we all believed exactly that because Alex was the strongest person you could ever meet, you'd think if anyone can beet cancer it's Alex. There was never a frown on her face cus she simply didn't believe that the cancer had a cat in hells chance! She kept going to college doing a nursing course because she wanted to be a midwife and also kept going to work. She did live longer than any doctor expected, I remember her doctor coming round and saying very bluntly "the amount of cancer in your body and the lack of space in your lungs means you should have died qiet some time ago". However after an almost 3 year battle Alex was given no option but to give up as the cancer got so strong that she couldn't possibly stand a chance! She hoped to stay around for christmas and her 18th birthday on the 6th January but sadly didnt make either events as she passed away in her sleep on the 18th Dec with her friends around her after watching her favourite film (the lion king).

An Angel in Heaven at Christmas
The gift of life is given, then it's cruelly snatched away
It leaves so many broken hearts, and sadness come what may
Especially now at Christmas, which you loved with all your heart
The thought of you not being here, is tearing us apart
And yet we must be thankful, for the happy times we spent
When love and laughter filled the air, before the magic went
The pictures are so clear today, of a happy smiling face
The kind of perfect loveliness, that no-one can replace
This little Christmas message, is to let you know for sure
The love that's felt for you lives on, and will forever more
xxxxxxxxxx
