Tributes

To the family of Margaret Saunders, please accept our deepest sympathy at the passing of Margaret. When popping in to see Margaret and Lloyd (and laterly just Margaret) we would be welcomed with great hospitality and a long chat. Peter always loved catching up with Lloyd and the sailing trips he did with him as a crew member. I always shared Margaret's fears of sailing and could understand that. It was lovely to see her settle in her new home not so long ago and joining in with activities there . A gracious and lovely lady. Love from , Peter and Jan Johnson.
