Let us all use this page to share our happy memories of the good times and special photos.
You’ll remain in our hearts forever ❤️
“If you’re wondering
Where to find me
I’ll tell you
Where I’ll be,
I’m in that
In-between bit,
That space where
Sky meets sea. 🌊
In the whispers
Of the trees
And the edges
Of your dreams, ☁️
Close enough to
Almost touch but
Slightly out of reach
I’m in the moon 🌙
And in the stars
But never really far,
And always, always
I’m there, inside
Your heart”
❤️💔❤️

It is with great sadness to hear that Mrs Lakin has passed away. We knew Mrs Lakin when as kids we lived across the road from her in Parkfield Crescent, Sue, Linda and John Ball, with our parents Audrey and Jess. Mrs Lakin was a lovely lady, who always had a smile and had time to chat to you. She will be so very sadly missed. RIP Mrs Lakin xxx

A lovely lady who will be remembered for her kindness and her sense of humour amongst other things. She is part of me and my siblings, Sue and John’s childhood, growing up as we did over the road at 65 Parkfield Crescent with Bet, Lionel and the family as neighbours of us children and our parents Audrey and Jess Ball.
