  • 5 Lesley Gregory 1st Mar 2022

    It has been a very difficult time as you will know but Sally Heynes has been so helpful, available and approachable she made things as easy as possible for me and I cannot thank her enough. We also managed to have some laughter and she loved the photos and robin picture I eventually decided on which went so well with the half of picture of Alan pretending to have binoculars that Sally worked out (I was in the other half). My friends photos with the picture of Alan's chocolates on the back just completed it so with Sally's help that also came together. She found me Trevor Watkin's and with more help from Alan's cousin and sister I put the rest together everyone along the way was so helpful and kind and so many after the funeral said what a lovely service it was. You can't ask for more than that and Sally set it all in motion and guided me. Lesley Gregory
