Thank you for all your messages, calls and text of condolences. Apologies for not speaking or replying to some, it’s too hard at the moment.

Some people have asked for our address to send cards/flowers which of course are appreciated but may I ask instead to donate towards your local food bank. My mum always helped others when she could and asked us to aswell, she said it was important to look after others when you can and even when you can’t, do something to help them.
