Auntie Lil, you were such a gift to us all growing up and how perfect for us all that you were just across the road from Nan and Grandad and Uncle Charlie, so we could flit about between you all. You helped to teach us how important family is and you also taught us how to "party" properly. I hope that you continue to dance with Wal, we will continue to feel your presence always in our hearts xxx

We go back a long way and living across the road from you meant you were like another sister to me. Sorry I couldn't come and say goodbye in person but I will miss you and our weekly phone chats and will always remember the good times we had. Thank you for caring about us all. Every time I hear "Crazy" I'll remember you and Wal dancing the slow foxtrot. Rest well now with Wal, God Bless and much love, Helena, Liz, Lou, Ian and Fraser xx ❤️
