So many memories and there is one that stands out. I remember, as a child, your parents- they were a couple that were always well dressed and well spoken. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know them. Your phone calls every day to your Dad. The smile on his face to hear your voice Jane. I’m sorry for your loss and I know in my heart that you were a incredibly Daughter to meet his needs. Take care xx
