I was incredibly sad to hear the news about Ceris. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Ian and Ceris in both Wales and Colorado, and will always remember her beautiful smile that lit up her whole face.
Whenever I have boiled or roasted potatoes, I think of Ceris and the delicious meals she prepared for us when we visited. I also smile when I remember her and my mom giggling together over a wine spritzer.
Ceris helped make our wedding day special, and although she didn't have the chance to meet Nathan, I've never forgotten how much time and care she and Ian put into his Flat Stanley project, taking the little cardboard Stanley all over Wales and sending pictures and pamphlets that made it without a doubt the best project in his class.
Sending lots of love to Ian, Stuart, Ceri and family.
Marion, Dustin & Nathan xxx
