Aunty Margaret has always been there in my life, from times when I stayed with her and Grandma and Grandad to times with her first husband Harry who like her was a dear generous volunteer helping with a disability club in Bexleyheath (that was where thy met). After she was widowed, her second marriage to Arthur was a time for sharing. Life with Arthur after they retired to Bexhill was very active and very happy. They did everything together including lots of travelling including cruises, plus the special involvement with their favourite sports - outdoor and indoor bowling. Margaret was a champion bowler winning many cups and prizes for her club in their touring competitions. Although in Australia, we were able to visit Aunty Margaret almost yearly and in between, we would talk all the time over Skype and phone calls. She was like a mum to me particularly after my mum her sister died. It doesn't matter what age people reach, when they are our friends, it is so hard to live without them... but sometimes the body wearies and needs to rest.. Rest in peace my darling Aunty Margaret

It was an honour to have you as my great aunt, 2 x great aunt to my children and 3 x great aunt to my grandson. Always loved, always remembered and forever in my heart. Love you. Marilyn xxx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
