My thoughts and love are with Nerissa's family at this sad time. I learnt of cousin Nerissa's declining health only recently and since then she has never been very far from my mind. In our younger days, we spent quite a lot of happy time together, I shall always cherish those memories. RIP dear Nerissa

Our Dear Friend Nerissa We remember all the wonderful memories we have shared over the past 70 or so years. Our friendship has weathered many seasons, from our first days working together, to experiencing the wonders of our children and grandchildren and being there for each other through the loss of our husbands and loved ones. The fun we had on our amazing girls' freedom sojourns away together in Europe, Australia and Fiji and in our later years, sharing our old age stories and anecdotes. For the many laughs we have had and the love we shared for each other, Thank You. We will miss you dear friend. All our love Jill and Diana
