Like my cousin Karen, I new Sheila from her early days with Ian. I remember especially a celebration for a special birthday of Ian’s. (I think probably his 21st, as the age of majority only changed to 18, a few months after I was 18.) My parent and I attended their wedding, and later when they moved to Canterbury, I visited them (and their baby Christopher) in their new home as I was a student at the Teacher Training College in Canterbury. Every year at Christmas – usually on Boxing Day, and provided there was no snow as Uncle Jack didn’t like snow on the roads, the Shave family would come to us at my parents’ home at Addlestone in Surrey. Even after Aunty Joan’s death and later Uncle Jack’s In, Sheila and by now their two children, Christopher and my God-Daughter Alison, would join us on Boxing Day. We would all have great fun playing billiards (Mum and I used my teacher’s discount to buy my Dad a Billiard table one Christmas), it was always brought out at Christmas, along with the Dart board. When we moved to Leverstock Green, we visited them in Kings Langley. Sheila created a lovely garden there. When Martin & I married, Christopher was our page boy, and Sheila dressed Alison up beautifully for the occasion as well. Sheila was a lovely lady, & although we hadn’t seen her for a long time, she will still be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ian & the rest of the family at this sad time.
