VALERIE 5th May 2021

So many happy memories. Hearing her chat to her sisters when they met over the years. When she stayed, taking her out with mum was a pleasure seeing them together. Enlightening stories, she was a link to my parents, mum’s sister but she also knew my dad’s family too. An insight into the times she lived in. Stories of Nan and life growing up which wasn’t easy, especially being evacuated. She was stoical and very positive always recalling the good amongst the bad. She was so enthusiastic, interested in everything, and had such awe and wonder and appreciation of her experiences, that, and her energy impressed everyone. She was kind caring for the less fortunate, from a friendship for life to protecting a vulnerable stranger. She stood up for what she believed was right. A sense of humour, seeing the funny side of things. Brave and courageous after she lost Uncle Dave and in the years ahead. At the heart of everything was family. We will truly miss our Aunty Glad, all the family felt she was very special and she was loved very much by us all. She made the world a better place and she will always be remembered.
