As you may know, Mum slipped away just after midnight on the 15th October.
Although only 72 when she died, Mum had suffered a stroke when she was only 66 which
had left her paralysed down one side. She remained incredibly cheerful for these last years and only
on the 3rd October was at Andrew's wedding where she was surrounded by
friends, family and her 6 adoring grandchildren.
Mum devoted a large part of her life to raising funds for Dr Graham's Homes, Dr Graham having been
her great grandfather. She worked tirelessly with the UK Committee for a long time
organising the Christmas Cards, the Annual Curry Lunch, and one year masterminding the inclusion of the Homes as
one of the Daily Telegraphs featured charities which was a massive success. It is impossible to
know how many children benefited from Mum's efforts but it must run in to hundreds if not thousands,
and she would be delighted to know that any donations raised as a result of her death would help
this remarkable school flourish and grow.
