My condolences to you all on the loss of your Mum. Nothing I can say will take away the pain you all are experiencing, I just want you to know that I care about you all and I share your sadness. There is no one in this world like your Mum, she was such a special person, friend and dear neighbour to us all. What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. May all of your wonderful memories comfort you during this heartbreaking time. Thinking of you all. Wendy xxxx
