TWO youngsters who took part in a nativity just four days after the death of their mother did 'brilliantly'.

Christina Kok, 47, suffered from terminal cancer for three years, and hoped to survive to watch her two youngest children, Ben, 11, and Mei-Lin, eight, in the nativity at St Michael's Church on Saturday.

But it was not to be, and she died on the Tuesday. Despite being grief-stricken, the brother and sister, with the backing of dad Russell, decided the show must go on, because it was what mum would have wanted.
