(*PLEASE SEE COMMENTS SECTION IN REFERENCE TO FUNERAL*).

In loving memory of our beautiful Mother Cynthia, we have set up a fundraising page to help support two charities that rescue dogs and were dear to her heart.

Mum has always loved dogs and found happiness in rescuing dogs from damaged backgrounds. Over the years she rehomed 3 dogs called Ted, Poppy and Willow and transformed their very broken souls, into very happy and confident dogs - grateful for a 2nd chance in life.

Mum's 3rd recue Willow was rehomed from Many Tears in Wales. After a long drive to collect her they told Mum she could not take Willow because she was pregnant. Undeterred by this, she agreed to take Willow anyway and would help deliver and look after the puppies until they were ready to be rehomed. To everyone's surprise, Willow gave birth to a litter of 11 puppies which quickly took residence in our Kitchen...

After successfully rehoming 9 puppies, Mum ended up keeping 2 (Ben and Maggie) who should be very familiar to many in Hampton. Mum regularly supported the Dogs Trust and Many Tears Rescue to try and give rescue dogs a happier life and we would welcome a small donation, for those that wish to in memory of our beloved Mum.
