A heartbroken husband is paying tribute to his wife and fundraising for her funeral.

We previously reported how Stace O’Brien, who lived in Glasgow city centre, had been diagnosed with cancer seven times in the past 10 years in her bones, breasts, lymph nodes, brain and sarcoma in her leg.

Now the 38-year-old, who is being hailed as the 'sweetest' wife and 'brave', has passed away at the Marie Curie centre this month.

Her devastated husband,  Joost ten Wolde, is now asking the local community to attend her funeral in 'as many cars as possible' to follow the funeral procession in her memory.

Sir Billy Connelly had also donated a painting to Stace to auction which gave her £800 towards private Stem Cell treatment in London.

Her family are now using all the money raised to pay for her funeral and to support Marie Curie.

Stace’s husband Joost said: “Everything is so overwhelming, I miss her so much.

“I would like to have as many cars as possible from the funeral Parlour to the big chapel crematorium .

“People can join in driving behind the funeral procession, to show Stacey her last respects.

“The Marie Curie centre where Stace stayed the last four weeks of her life did an amazing job.

“The money that we have raised from donations will go towards the funeral and Marie Curie.”

We previously reported how the 38-year-old suffers from Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a genetic condition increasing her chances of getting cancer.

Stace was first diagnosed with osteosarcoma bone cancer in January 2012 and was in remission for five years before finding a lump in her breast in February 2019.

She underwent a double mastectomy, but tragedy struck again in December 2019 when doctors found lymph node cancer.

Stace was then diagnosed with sarcoma in her leg in February 2021, and last October doctors found her breast cancer had spread to her chest wall, behind her heart and liver.

She had been undergoing treatment until doctors found three large tumours in her brain, confirming nothing else could be done at the end of last year.

Joost told the Glasgow Times: “Stace is the sweetest person ever and I just love her so much.

“Stace was so brave, I wish she could be in the park feeding squirrels and be happy.

“My heart is shattered, I love her so much.”
