Richard, you Paul, June & Jack have been and always will be, amongst our happiest family memories growing up! We had great fun and carefree times on our camping holidays in Rhossilli - I can't remember it raining very often! Also, the fun hiking trips to Clent Hills all piled into Uncle Jack's Morris Traveller (pre seat belt laws). What a cool car!
Our hearts go out to Maggie, Ethan, June, Paul, Jo and all the family and your friends. Wishing them strength and comfort from knowing how loved you and they are!
Thank you for the lovely memories! XXXX
