Dear Bryan and family,
It was with great sadness that I learned of your Mom's death. I remember the way your mother made all your friends feel so welcome with her genuine hospitality. Joe and Daniel will miss their grandmother. Mothers are special and may you reflect on the memories of good times. My thoughts are with you, Cindy and the boys at this sad time.

A lovely lady, I am so glad I found her, having missed 40 years I am so privileged to have known her for the last 25 years. As the last member of my Fathers siblings, it is so sad to have lost her. I hope she is at peace and standing side by side with Joe and her brother Clare (my Dad). I will never forget her, they broke the mould when they created Velma. I truly wanted to be there to say goodbye but sadly with my Husband ill I cannot but her family and friends will be in my thoughts on Thursday. God keep you safe until I join you, love to you Velma from your niece and all her family in England.
