Dearest Roatha I shall always remember the way you could make us all laugh
when we worked together in that little unit for Morgan.
You had the most wicked sense of humour that brightened everyone's day.
I am so sorry you had to suffer so but now I know you are free from pain and at peace reunited with your beloved Mick.
Condolences to Anthony and Dale.
