Dear Nyla You have always been there in my life. The big sister whom I admired so much. The big sister who achieved so much as an athlete and sports person, as a dancer, and as an amazing cook/baker. I remember the Friday night cooking. Mum had to have all the ingredients ready for you, her part of the deal. I lalways hing around! You filled the tins with biscuits and cakes for the week ahead. You were the big sister whom I went alongto watch each Saturday play basketball. A supreme player. And then there was tennis and badminton as well. You did nothing by halves. As a sister and auntie, your door was always open. We will always remember and cherish that. And most of all you were a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Both you and Des worked together to achieve it all. There is far more I could say, words which Mum and Dad echo in my ears right now. God speed. You can rest now. Lee xxx

To Des and family. Thinking of you all. Sincere Sympathy Margaret Ashton
