It is with much sadness that I have to report to you that Howards Mansley’s condition has deteriorated. To be blunt the latest news is that Howard has only weeks to live in his current condition, he is to undergo some treatment over the next few days but at best this may only give him an extra week or so.

Howard and his family would like to welcome visitors to visit Howard at his bed side on Bexley wing St James to talk about the good times we have had over the years.
