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
