Dear Uncle Bill, growing up I thought of you as a very suave salesman with the best products, Oil of Ulan. I would say you started my moisturising regime at 10 years old. You looked so smart in your red jerseys.
Your love, you always gave to your big sister , Edith, my dear mum, was so lovely to see the bond. She loved you very much too.
I wish to say how sad I am to Jill and Renee for the loss of your hubby and Renee, your dad.
Hoping all the Bakes up there are having a wonderful reunion.

Lots of love
Zita , Chris and family
