A dear and loving mother, (Mum, Grandmother and great Grandmother) will be sadly miss and forever in our hearts, rest in peace.
Sleep well Doreen, so miss you and our chats.
Rest in Peace Doreen
I had only met Doreen a few times, she was a dear friend of my mother; she was a lovely lady, and I had the impression that she would always think the best of people… an all-round good person.
Mum was very sad to hear of Doreen’s passing. Doreen regularly joined a lunch-group and I often heard about the enjoyable times they had there.
I drove my mother and a friend to St Andrew’s Church on the 5th February, and there we met others from the lunch group. I can see why Doreen liked meeting them… what a lovely group of people.
After a rather cold waiting-time there, we found that the service had been postponed. The group had the time to say their farewells to Doreen, and as they knew her well said: “I guess she’s looking down at us cold ladies now, having a giggle on our behalf” … a new shared lasting memory of Doreen.
Hiya Mum, Sorry to have eventually been told of your sad passing over, I only hold the good time memories in my hart and remember what a loving, caring mum you where to the four of us Sons, I am pleased to see you have left money in your will for your three retardation problem Sons, I only hope they use it wisely, but it dose show what a loving caring mother you where right to the end, Haven has gained another angle.
I can only give my apologies to any one effected by the very poor management of my mums funeral arrangements, in the lack of transport provided for the elderly and disabled people to attend mums funeral. Rest in peace mum, [email protected]
God bless you sweet Sister we will al.ways love and miss ❤️ you
