The obituary notice of Christine Ann MARTIN (née Edminson)

How do I leave my tribute to my oldest friend in a few lines? I looked on Christine as my second sister since my own sister Lesley died aged only 19 years. We grew up together in the same street in Morpeth, shared a flat in Newcastle and remained close all through the ups and downs of the years ever since. Christine was funny, naughty with a quick wit, an excellent cook and hostess as well as having excellent taste in clothes,, interior design and cuisine. I have lost a very dear friend who brought me and many much joy and happiness. I will miss her greatly. Valerie
