Tributes

To Bill and Family. My heart goes out to you all as we send our heartfelt sympathy to you and family at this very sad time.I am very sorry for your loss of dear Laurita. She was truly a dear lady who I enjoyed spending a lot of time with her as our neighbour over the years. She loved her gardening and took pride in it. I always had great conversations with her during her time with us. I loved how she adopted me as her family as I saw her as a grandmother. I will miss her very much, our love goes out to both you and Elspeth. Sorry we could not be there to pay our respects as we are out of the country and cannot get flights ( Niue ) We will catch up with you very soon when we are back. Love Rosemary, Barry and Lucy.xx
