Jane McGrath dies aged 42

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=584399

Jane McGrath, wife of former Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, has died after a long battle with breast cancer, Cricket Australia announced.

"It is with deep sadness that the family and friends of Jane McGrath, beloved wife of former Australian cricketer Glenn and loving mother of James and Holly, must announce she passed away at her home (Sunday) morning," a Cricket Australia statement said.

"With Glenn and their two children by her side, Jane's wonderful life ended peacefully after a sudden decline in her health over the past week."

McGrath, 42, had surgery earlier this year and was recovering before complications set in, the statement added.

"Jane McGrath has left a lasting legacy through the McGrath Foundation, an organisation that is providing thousands of women hope - and support - in their fight against breast cancer," the statement said.

"The McGrath Family have requested their privacy be respected at this very difficult time."

I agree...Lately i have been reading the comments on this forum and im reading a fair bit of negativity...whether its to do with equipment appliances training or incidents it just seems people find the bad things and all they wanna do is blame some one or something...I hardly think jane McGrath blamed any one or winged about anything just got on with it and fought it..exactly what everyone should do..be happy with what we are given and be greatful at end of the day we are still volunteers and if ur un happy with things leave the organisation don ear bash people

Wholeheartedly agree with you mac13, it is a terrible shame that a young mum with so much to lve for should be taken by a awful disease. But PLEASE lets not draw any parrallels between volunteers rightly posting complaints/grievances, on this OUR site and the untimely death of Jane Mcgrath.

Condolences to Glenn McGrath and his family to have lost someone who was loved by all.

The legacy she leaves behind is a greater awareness of the disease, and a memory of fighting till the end.

RIP Jane :-(

Thats a morally outrageous argument for "Sit down, shut up" If ever I have seen one.

Its tragic that Mrs. McGrath passed away, but christ...
