Their daughter is now campaigning for increased funding for end-of-life hospice care.
Two married "soulmates" who died from terminal cancer within days of each other were able to spend their last moments together side by side.
Eight days later, Mr Johnson then died with his brother Alwyn and the couple's pet dog Tess by his side. "Not only do all people deserve the end-of-life care that my parents received, but when patients are in a hospice instead of a hospital, it takes the strain off the NHS."Mr Johnson, 76, met Mrs Johnson, 69, when he was carrying out his rounds as a milkman in Clay Cross, Derbyshire.
At first, Mrs Johnson was looking after him, but in December she began showing symptoms of confusion and seizures, which turned out to be a glioblastoma brain tumour.Ms Whittaker said: "They did everything together, and other than when they were at work they were never apart; they were proper soulmates."If both couldn't be cared for at the hospice, it would have been so heartbreaking for us choosing who we were going to be with.
