About Pettiford

My mum died last Monday after being admitted to hospital the previous Friday with severe diarrhoea and sickness. She had been poorly for about three weeks and because she was always complaining about feeling unwell we really thought it was just a bug. Due to the Coronavirus we were not allowed to go in the ambulance with her and did not see her until we were contacted on Monday pm to be told that she was seriously unwell and unlikely to make the night. She passed away at 11am with possibly either stomach cancer or an ulcer.
