Just one more thing to add to my previous thoughts... Thank you for your wise decision about 45 years ago to have a third child. Bon has all of your wonderful kindness and huge heart. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift of Bonnie! Xxx

Dearest Chrissy, There are so many memories of such happy times from my teenage years spent at your house. You were so warm, kind, welcoming and always so cheerful. My memories of you are always of you smiling and laughing. You welcomed us girls into your family, we’d stay for dinner, cups of tea, just sit around chatting, playing games. You put up with our very loud and probably out of tune singing and take that madness! We still talk about those days even now. And yes the blisters - you always treated my blisters!! I remember the last time I saw you at the park, you had a big smile and a hug for me and that is how you’ll always be remembered. Whatever was happening you always had a smile for us. You will be missed so much by so many. You truly were a beautiful soul. One of a kind. Rest in peace Chrissy. All my love Ju

It has been an absolute pleasure to know you Chrissy. Your kind, thoughtful nature has meant you have left a positive impact on everyone who has crossed your path, including me. It is a terrible loss for us all but you will live on through all those little positives we all remember so well. We'll remember you every time we pass a charity shop, every time someone offers us a cuppa, or offers to help or just gives us a big smile and a hug. All these things and so many more will bring a smile and a tear to our faces. In time, this will hopefully become more smile than tear. From a personal point of view, I'll always think of you when someone makes me a coffee when I asked for tea or forgets to put the sweetener in. Or perhaps when I forget where I've put my keys, or my wallet, or any of the other myriad of things I forget on a daily basis, much like you!! I'll miss our chats in the car about your friends that I still haven't met, but know so much about! I'll miss winding you up about voting for Brexit, or walking slowly, or listening to Dolly Parton. Most of all, I'll miss your smiling face and positive attitude to life, despite all it had thrown at you. If everyone was as selfless, kind and considerate as you, the world would be a happier place. We will miss you forever.
