Diane died peacefully at home on the 1st May, with her loving son and daughter being present. She will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.

Diane is survived by her son, daughter and grandchild. Her brother, Trevor and his partner, Irene. Her beloved Godmother and Aunt, Daphne, (and late husband, Les) and their daughter, Linda, husband Roger, and her family.

Mum's wish was not to have a funeral service, she would say 'you go out for a tea'. The family would like to arrange a tea for sometime this summer, just a small event or gathering to toast Mum. If you would be interested in making contact, then please leave your details with the funeral director, and we will get in touch.

Mum had been very unwell for sometime. Despite this, she fought with courage and dignity throughout her illness. During this time, she still had much love and wisdom to share, and always did so no matter what. This will be deeply missed and although she is no longer suffering, she has left a void that is impossible to fill.

Stephen would personally like to thank the following for the care they gave to Mum:

My Dearest Sister
Trevor Rymell (Uncle), thank you for your support
