My dearest sister Miriam. In all our years as sisters we never had a misunderstanding. You were the gentlest of people who loved her family more than anything and was so proud of them. I treasure wonderful memories of you. I will miss you always and remember with a smile all the happy new years we spent together with Graham and Gwyn. My love now and always , Marlene XXXXX
