Tessa

http://www.weld-hospice.org.uk A film made with the help of Catherine Batten, of Rosetta Life, at Trimar Hospice in Dorset - part of Weldmar Hospicecare Trust. Tessa Lees, wife and mother of 2 young children, died from breast cancer late in 2006. During her final months she made a short film about her life and the things that mattered most to her. The first two sections involve one of Tessas heros, the singer/song writer Billy Bragg, who kindly visited her to help her record a song. In the second half Tessa talks about how, after years of restless moving, Portland became her home, and about her garden there, a symbol of her love of life and family.

I am so sorry to find out beautiful Tess passed away in 2006. She was a remarkable woman. We had lost touch a long time ago but I will never forget her. It is so strange to find her here, singing, with her lovely children.

Hasn't anyone commented on this. Funnily enough I was looking for something from his "Half-English" album, but found this instead. That said I've awful glad I found this.
