" AT REST WITH KEVIN "

This is my little memory in "RESPECT" of Anne Williams.....R.I.P. " YNWA "

Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams dies after brave cancer battle
( By David Bartlett )
HILLSBOROUGH campaigner Anne Williams has lost her battle with cancer.
Anne, who lost her son Kevin, 15, in the disaster was a tireless campaigner for justice and had fought unsuccessfully three times to have the discredited inquests quashed.
She had always maintained that Kevin had been alive beyond the 3.15pm cut-off point for evidence. And was thoroughly vindicated by last year's independent panel report, and subsequent quashing of the 'accidental death' verdicts.
She made her last public appearance at the 24th anniversary service at Anfield on Monday, defying doctors advice.

Tributes today flooded in for Anne.
Barry Devonside, of Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said: 'I have known Anne for many many years. Her personal fight for justice was immense and long.
'If there is another injustice inside the Hillsborough disaster it was her fight to have Kevin's inquest overturned three times.'
As recently as Monday Sheila Coleman, of Hillsborough Justice Campaign, paid tribute to Anne: 'We applaud Anne's tenacity to draw on whatever reserves she has left to be here today - she is quite simply an inspiration.'
Anne was diagnosed with terminal cancer in October, but was determined to be at Anfield and told the ECHO on Monday: 'I'm elated for the survivors and everyone who has helped our fight since the formation of the Hillsborough Working Party that the whole world now knows the truth about what happened.
'So many professional people have given their time and expertise for free over many years - I feel indebted to these people.
'Knowing that we had their support and also that of the Liverpool and Everton fans, the people of Merseyside and from all over the place really kept me going.
'I just couldn't handle the lies. I uncovered that Kevin was alive after 3.15, only had relatively mild injuries, and could have been saved, in 1991.
'I've been lied to by pathologists, witnesses in Kevin's case have been pressurised - but now finally Kevin will get his inquest.
'It is very, very important that the fight for justice does go on - the truth coming out has opened a big can of worms and this may be just the tip of the iceberg.
