  1. I’m sorry to hear of Auntie Vals passing. I have fond memories of my sisters and I playing in your garden and running around your flowerbed maze. Auntie Val liked to talk about our Grandad, keeping his memory alive for us. I like to think she is having a family party up in heaven with my Grandad and Uncle Harry, telling them about what we’re up to!

    Lots of love
    Adam, Emma, Harry, Alexis and Bertie. Xx
