Mum / Joan loved flowers but she would have thought it a terrible waste for people to spend so much on something that will not last.

We know that children were a big part of her life in many differnt ways, and we thought it would be fitting to ask, that in leiu of flowers at her funeral, that you consider giving a donation to the Christina Noble Children's Foundation.

The charity implements life saving sustainable programs in Vietnam and Mongolia that have saved and nurtured the lives of hundreds of thousands of street and destitute children, and in many cases the lives of the children's parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. They have assisted in helping to build the infrastructure for future generations, so children can flourish and be free of the on-going poverty cycle.

We think that Mum / Joan would have approved of Christina's message...

"As I have so often said, the future of our world is the future of our children.... Our beautiful children. For many of them, it is a matter of 'giving them back their future', giving them a life, giving them hope."

Thank you in advance,

Alan, Mary and Adam xxx
