Tributes

Dearest Gladys and Colin My sincerest condolences on the passing of Garry, loving husband and father. Gary was a kind and thoughtful gentleman. I'll never forget the time I got to spend with him while caring for Gladys. His love of waking around the village, seeing all the local dogs. The smell of bacon hock and vegetable soup from his kitchen. Watching him while he was listening to his books, perhaps falling asleep. He was very proud of you Colin and spoke fondly of you. And loved you Gladys, taking care of you as long as he could. Sending you both love and comfort. Leigh
