Dee - I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mum. You spoke so fondly of her and I know how cherished she was by you. Much love and positive thoughts. Love always my friend, Freya

So many wonderful memories growing up with you. Big family birthdays and gatherings. When I was a teenager you lived just up the road from me. You were always up for a visitor and had amazing sewing skills. You helped alter my wedding dress and my bridesmaids. You could create anything. I'm forever grateful for all the amazing memories. You will be missed xx Today I found a green Irish clover 🍀 pin and it made me think of you. I will wear it with pride for you.
