Has No Life - Lives on TB
And another.
A family have been left heartbroken after a dad and daughter died within weeks of each other.
Angela Courtney, from Huyton, was preparing to spend her last Christmas with her family after being diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was told the devastating news her dad Tony had died suddenly at work. Tony, who worked as an electrician, died of a heart attack on December 14, just three weeks before his daughter Angela, 47, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer on January 3.
Angela, who worked as an air hostess for TUI, leaves behind her partner John and her six-year-old son Jonny. Tony, 70, leaves behind his wife Christine Courtney, 68, and three children Tony, 49, Bootsy, 46, and Beverley, 43.

A joint funeral service was held for Tony and Angela at St Columba's Church in Huyton on January 17. Tony's family believe he died of a broken heart after hearing the news of his daughter Angela's diagnosis.
Daughter Beverley Jeffreys told the ECHO: "We kind of believe he died of a broken heart because he just couldn't see her die. We like to take that comfort that he died before her because he couldn't take anymore."
