Sending all of my love to Gillian, Helen and their extended families. I am so sorry for the loss of “Uncle Gerald” but so glad that we all have many happy memories. Just about every Christmas and a few other major holidays in my youth were spent with the Bush, Briggs and Leadbeater families and all of us cousins have many many happy memories from those get togethers. A lot of that was down to the parents who helped us all make it so much fun. Thank you Uncle Gerald for your part in our childhoods and please please send our love to Auntie Pamela when you see her !
