A really lovely lady and a great friend of all our family, Maureen will be a great miss by not only her family but by the many friends she made over the years It was a honour to be among your many friends

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
