I knew your mum well in here at Jean Sandel. She was a fine lady, so I’m deeply saddened to hear that she has passed. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I admired so much the way she managed and looked after John. I also took John to bowls a lot. He loved the opportunity to play, good for him and good for Angela too. We loose a lot of people in here. Some leave a long and beautiful memory as Angela and John did. I sometimes think of them sweetly, smile and feel happy to had the opportunity to know them. Love Eddie Betts

We enjoyed our many happy times we had at our spinning group with Angela. Always ready to have a go at anything....so many laughs...Thank you Angela for just being you..

A Letter to My Granny ​Dear Granny, ​I’m sitting down to write this because there is so much that went unsaid over the years. Even though life and distance kept us apart for a long time, I want you to know that you were never far from my thoughts. ​I’ve been thinking a lot about the time we spent together—especially when i would be allowed to come and visit you on the plane all by myself. You made me feel so big. Those moments stayed with me, even when the years started to stack up between us. ​I feel a weight of regret that I didn't get to see your face or hold your hand one last time. I’m sorry that the chaos of the world or the distance between us got in the way. But as I look back now, I realize that the bond we had wasn't just about being in the same room; it was about the roots you planted in our family that allowed me to grow into who I am today. ​I see pieces of you in myself sometimes—in the way I will always try to see the best in people like you did. ​Thank you for the love you gave me when I was small. Thank you for being a part of my story, even the chapters where we were far apart. I hope you are at peace now, surrounded by the beauty and rest you deserve. ​I am saying goodbye to the distance now, and keeping only the memories and love. You’ll always have a place in my heart. ​With all my love, ​Your eldest granddaughter, Brianna
