Fiona and I met on a Christian work camp when we were teenagers and kept in touch via letters. Her gorgeous smile is my abiding memory of her.

Fiona was a wonderful friend and neighbour, baker of cakes, a great knitter, lovely to be with. Walking pal, when we put the world to rights and had a lot of giggles.
Cross Leys is a quieter place without you. We miss you.
