| Fiona's Song |
| Hi there , There are some people in this world that when you meet them whether by chance or by introduction , change your way of thinking. One such person was Fiona Stewart a woman of great courage and the sister of a very dear friend of Whiterose. Fiona suffered from Cancer and though through all the harrowing and painstaking treatments for this terrible Illness she showed tremendous courage and fight.Fiona attended a few of Whiterose's Gigs and became a fan of our music of which to say we were extremely proud.Sadly towards the end of 2010 Fiona lost her fight to Cancer. Having the privelige of knowing her was an honour so much so that Whiterose have written a song in her memory entitled [Fiona's Song]. This song will be recorded towards the end of May 2011 in the form of a CD single from which the proceeds from the CD will all be donated to Cancer Research. To the memory of Fiona Stewart , the bravest woman Whiterose has ever met. |
