This will be available in the next couple of days.

Dr Sics and Partners, Barnsley, United Kingdom

I must be just one of many whose life he saved. He will be greatly missed as a doctor and a man.

Barry Cooper, Penistone,

Kathy was a very active and dynamic member of the Royal College of GPs Adolescent Task Group and we're all shocked and saddened by her sudden death. Kathy was passionate about her work. As well as being a busy GP, she was very committed to improving the health of young people and training other doctors. She will be sadly missed by all those who worked with her. Our condolences go to her family.

Frances Perrow, London, UK

I have been a patient of Dr Phipps since moving to Wath in 1996. Not only was she a brilliant GP, she was also a good listener and advisor. She has helped me so much during my illness and I will be forever grateful to her.

Emma White, Wath, England

These two people were quite simply two of the finest people I had the privelege to meet. Kathy was my GP for 14 years and we worked together on the Patient Participation Group, her energy sense of fun and professionalism were amazing. Walter was my cardiologist for the same period, his determination to improve my condition was awesome. He was perhaps unusually straight talking for a doctor and certainly a little unconventional as the remarkable treatment known locally by him as "squeezy pants" will testify but my word he got the job done. Over the years I had come to regard them as friends and I will miss them both very much

Granville Marriott, Rotherham,

Walter was an excellent cardiologist and a fine man. He was my boss when I was a junior doctor at Barnsley, and I learnt a great deal from him.

He will be greatly missed.

Dr Bill Gibson, Sheffield, UK

This family are close friends of mine and i would like to point out a few errors in your article
1. Walter and Kathy's children are called Jamie, Emily and Olivia, not Jamie, Emily and Oliver. Oliver is a boys name. Olivia is not a boy, i know her well enough to be fairly certain.
2. The children are aged 12 to 16, not 12 to 17, due to the fact that none of them are older than 16, Olivia being 12, Emily being 15 and Jamie being 16.
