My step grandmother was a neighbour of Jean and Peter in Sunningdale and, as she grew older, she came to rely on their help more and more.
We would often visit on our way down to my husband’s constituency in Dorset, and our children would be spoilt with lovely teas, presents and Easter egg hunts in Granny Vi’s home.
When Jean and Peter moved to the Southampton area we would visit from our home in Wimborne and have fond memories of Jean’s sponge cakes, meringues and roast potatoes. She had a mischievous sense of humour which meant that laughter and giggles permeated our time together.
Peter was her rock and she was not the same person after he died. As a family we miss them both because they were so much a part of our children’s childhood. May she rest in peace.’
