Jocelyn was an Aunty to me who was full of energy, always interested in others and great to chat to with her sense of humour. For many years she was great company to my mother via regular telephone conversations which I know mum valued highly. We will all miss Jocelyn and my thoughts are with Andrew, John and thier families.
