Marg and Alan xx

Thinking of you all. Love from Leslie and Robyn

Rest in peace now Derek xx

So you were 81 then Decka. You always told me you were 17 and you always said it with a straight face. Like many others I'll fondly remember your silly jokes and tall stories. The world has lost a true character. RIP old friend.

Derek, thank you for giving me the gift of a lifelong friendship in the ever lovely Craig, who is every bit as funny and kind as you are ❤️

May you rest in peace xxx
