Married in 1957 to our dear Dad, Raymond, (a D-Day Veteran). A classic case of the Guide Captain marrying the Scout Master! Joan was a teacher all her working life, eventually becoming Deputy Head of a large Primary School in South London.

I created this Tribute Fund in memory of one of the most awesome people I've ever met, and I'm sure I ever will meet - my grandmother, Maureen John. I'm proud to be able to raise money in tribute to her, in particular because she shaped my life so much.
My Mam - Simply The Best.
My Mam died on the 26th January 2008 at the age of 55, 3 weeks after being diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. My Mam was the life and soul of any party, loved her life and her 3 Children but unfortunately won't get to meet her first grandchild - Megan Lily - as I was actually pregnant at the time.
This tribute fund is dedicated to our mum, Mary, who sadly died on 24th June, 2009. Mum was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She was a fantastic mum, granny and sister as well as a very dear friend to many. As well as her caring nature she was well known for her loud laugh which was heard wherever she went.
Sue was a loving warm lady who had great compassion. She was a hero to us all by her strength when her beloved Mike died and then battling cancer of the thyroid- her sense of humour never went even when she started her final battle with ovarian cancer.

My mother passed away peacefully, at home, on June 13 2009 with both Brev and I at her side. She had a brief battle with an all too aggressive cancer. Her death was a shock to everyone. She was only 63.
Mum was born, on the 4th of February, 1946 and grew up in Winnetka, Illinois.
Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories she left behind.
Julie was our kind hearted, beautiful, generous sister and she passed away on 22nd September 2009 at the age of just 45 after battling ovarian cancer for 16 months.
On 22nd November 2008 Jill Spires passed away. We lost a wonderful mother and grandmother and everyone that knew her lost a good friend. She was a great inspiration to those that met her, especially when they became aware of her very positive attitude towards the health problems that burdened her for many years.
Ruthie was our dear sister. She will be loved and missed by so many forever.
As Ruth requested all her clothes be sold with proceeds for charity it seems only right to ensure that we all do as much as we can you prevent this tragedy from affecting other families, and also to honour Ruth's wishes.
Jackie was the true Disney Princess....she was full of magic, fun, spirit, sparkle and laughter. May her Tinkerbell wings be on to guide her on her way and may she leave magic disney dust as she travels.....I love you Jackie....Liz
