Beatles the early years page 17 by ric gustafson
When Paul McCartney's mother Mary had her 47th birthday, she knew her time on this earth was short. She had breast cancer. Her wish to her husband was that Paul and Mike did not know. Then the cancer really spread.
Mary went into the hospital at the David Lewis Northern Hospital on Oct 29 1956. Paul and Mike were sent to their Aunt and Uncle's home. They did not know their mother now had a brain tumor. The end for Mary McCartney came on Oct 31 1956.
Paul and Mike stayed with their Uncle Joe and Aunt Joan. They did not attend their mother's requiem mass.
Now, Jim McCartney was a single parent of boys aged 14 and 12. It was hard for Jim to make ends meet. With the help of the McCartney family, they made it through.
