Messages of condolence

In memory of my dear friend. Love Jan

Well my lovely mate of over 30 years. Wishing you the happiest of holidays xx you've certainly got the best of both worlds now, and don't forget to show me you're still around. Thank you for all the laughs, and see you when I see you. Look after my Elvis for me. Love you xx

Ms Jayne Beckett

I will always remember dear Rita as a warm, kind, generous and funny friend. She could always make light of a serious situation and make me laugh. She loved life and lived it to the full, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend time with her over the many years we knew each other. My husband, Neil, met her only a few times, but liked her a lot, especially for her directness - a kindred spirit, I think, who said what she thought and didn't worry about what anyone else thought. She was one in a million and will be truly missed...

Mrs Fiona Sneath

Rita had a heart of gold. A very caring lady for people and animals. We always had such a giggle. Rest in peace Rita.

Rita you were an amazing women, and it was an absolute pleasure to know you. You were one of mums closest friends, up until the very end and always checked in on me and my sister throughout these years and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. And will continue to reminisce on stories I used to hear mum tell of you both getting up to mischief together at work. I hope you and mum are having a good catch up together up there. X

Rita, I idolised you as a little girl, when you dated my uncle, you pierced my ears, you let me play with your jewellery, you were the epitome of 80s glam. I remember adoring your beautiful skin, your hair moved with youthful vitality, I was captivated. You were kind, patient and loving. I'm so glad we were back in contact and I will keep the keyring safe you dent me after mum died. So sorry your life was cut short. You enjoy heaven, for it is certainly lucky to have you.
