With love from Deb
Lar we wish you a safe journey to your final destination. You were one of life’s characters and you will be much missed by so many. Your painting was extraordinary and thank you for allowing Green Island Holiday Trust to benefit from one of them. So many memories and so much laughter. Thank you for all of that. xx
I wish I’d said to Lar before she died – Thank you for being you, for being such a ‘character’, for your honest straight-talking, for being able to cut straight to the heart of any problem, for being astute to others, and of course for always seeing the humorous side. I’d even say thanks for all those sneaky photos, catching us in our natural, unguarded moments 😊
What a lovely lady. Full of fun and kindness. Lar put the “Lar” in laughter.
Lar, thank you for being “you” and always being so welcoming when we visited Swanage.
In grateful memory of a loving friend for Deb
Lar, I loved the way you could see the funny side in almost any situation!
You had a unique gift for putting people at ease and will be much missed by everyone who knew you!

Lar my darling, how I will miss the laughter and sharing the red wine, going outside for a puff, chatting about art, stories about you life and family and hearing about the adventures you and Debbie went on ….but most of all it will always be the laughter.
With buckets of love
