A life-size effigy of Danny Pedley, arm resting casually on his gravestone, is an arresting sight at Widney Manor Cemetery, Bentley Heath. Danny is wearing a grey, green and white Nike tracksuit - as he did in life, according to his mother Debbie. 'The resemblance is uncanny, it looks more and more like him every day. The statue was made in China and cost £8,000. I go to the grave everyday to change his hat and give him a little kiss,' she says. Danny was diagnosed as having small cell lung cancer on Christmas Eve 2008. He died aged 27 last January, just six days after marrying his *long-term girlfriend, Stacey, 26, mother of his two children, *Lacey-Leigh, seven, and Mason, four.
