20/07/09 We are sad to say that the amazing Angie Martin lost her well fought battle with cancer on Friday 17th July. Angie was the amazing programming brains behind Weblobe (the system that runs this site). She was a truly extraordinary woman.
In her last days she and her husband were given invaluable support by Hospice at Home, an organisation that allows people to die with dignity in their own homes. If any of our caring customers feel able to make a donation in the name of Angie Martin that would be truly fantastic. You can follow Angie's story in some amazing pictures taken by her husband.
