Whit Honea — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Jane McGrath died two months ago from cancer. Glenn McGrath is raising their two children, Holly (6) and James (8), and they are doing the best that they can.

"We talk about mummy all the time. They have chosen a star and we go say hello to mummy each night.

"The kids are going well and they are my main priority."

I can't even imagine how hard it must be for the McGrath family. It's nice to see they are starting to heal.

Jane McGrath Memorial

Whit Honea — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:59:00 GMT

Jane McGrath's memorial service was attended by many mourners clad in pink, the color that symbolizes the fight against breast cancer to which McGrath recently lost her battle.

In a tender and bittersweet gesture McGrath's children, James and Holly, blew bubbles outside of the church, a tribute to the fact that their parents were wed in the same church in 1999. The children were accompied by their father Glenn.

Jane McGrath Loses Cancer Battle

Whit Honea — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 06:24:00 GMT

Jane McGrath was the wife of Glenn McGrath, a famous cricket player in Australia. She has died after years of battling cancer. She was 42 and had two children, James and Holly.

Her management company released the following statement: "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."

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 she and her husband founded the McGrath Foundation to provide breast cancer education and medical assistance to her fellow patients.

She also fought a secondary cancer in her hip. In 2006 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the McGrath family, their friends and fans.

We have a large percentage of female readers, and I'm just a dumb guy that may not know what he's talking about, but I hope that everyone is conducting regular breast checks, in the words of Jane McGrath, "...early detection saves lives."
