I remember a close relationship with mum, she had a very generous nature and I adored her as a child. As we grew older she was much the same, I remember her letting several guy crash on her floor with my brother after a pub night out and enjoying the experience, the wonderful and oblique Christmas sacks she created each with 20+ little pressies all wrapped individually and most odd, occasionally useful with many very funny, the taxi service she provided between Gatwick and home for us all and many other instances that showed she was a very special lady indeed!
She was a loving mother who had periods of difficulties in life (much like us all) but I also remember lots of happiness and fun for and with mum as she was a lovely, interesting and engaging lady who we will all miss!
