I will always have lovely memories of 'Toodles'- one of Mum's much loved cousins. I remember her always being happy with a such a warm, sincere smile. So very pleased to have made contact with her again recently after many, many years and to have been able to provide her with a copy of part of her's and our family history. Condolences to 'the boys' and their families.
