It is with a very heavy heart that I have to report that a very dear friend of mine Paul Gary Brockbanks lovely wife of 37 years Carol Brockbank lost her fight in the early hours of this morning and has sadly passed away.

Gary has been my friend since we were in high school and I am so saddened to hear of this terrible loss for one so young. Carol was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, devoted to her family and a true independent soul if there ever was one and she fought tirelessly against the odds for many years before finally succumbing today.

Gary is a very active cosplayer and fundraiser and has been a part of the British Judge Dredd cosplaying society for several years now, often with his grandchildren in toe, as judge, jedi and many other characters. So please spare a thought for Gary and his family at this difficult time and if you wish please make a donation organised by Gary and Carols friend Sue Butler-Johnson of Cosplay Convivio Facebook Group. Rest easy Carol you were a true fighter right to the very end and but we all have such courage when the end comes!

Carol Brockbank January 16th 1963 – March 06th 2021
