The obituary notice of Kerry Ann THOMPSON HOPE

Kerry was my first friend when I worked in Plymouth. She immediately picked up on my accent and started talking to me, telling me about her time living in Bordeaux. That’s how our friendship began. Kerry would come over to my house for dinner, and I’d visit her mum and dad. We went on many adventures together, but one of the most memorable was when we climbed Scafell Pike.
Elika and I always looked forward to receiving messages and photos of Laurence, Grace, and Phil’s adventures. Kerry had a wonderful way of sharing those precious moments with us.
Rest in peace, my dear friend. You are deeply missed, but won’t be forgotten.
With lots of love,
Karine, Elika, and

My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Kerry's family in those difficult times. - I met Kerry last year in May during the Blooming Well programme organised by the Mustard Tree. I am a bit of a gardening novice. Kerry's passion for gardening and flowers became apparent from the first week. She shared her knowledge and was always supportive of others. We also had a good laugh, at one point she explained some children dances to me. I think they were part of our gardening warm up. Her devotion, pride and care for her children was shining through each week. We kept in touch in our little WhatsApp group and she shared many gardening photos but also milestones of her children and family. She is very much missed but not forgotten.

Friends are the family you choose and Kerry was like family to us. We enjoyed so many fond memories with Kerry, from university, attending each other’s weddings, becoming Sophie’s godmother, and then watching our families grow. I miss our mornings chats on the way to work and we miss your lovely messages you would send about your adventures with Phil and the children.
You have left a huge hole in our lives but you have left lots of lovely memories and thoughts of you.
Love April, Scott, Sophie and Matilda xxxx
