My sincerest condolences, Lesley, and family.
We'll never forget the many fun times that Dolly brought to our life.
Jackie and myself were born within 5 days of each other. We went to nursery together and primary school. Separated only by our families moving home but we remain in each others hearts.
I remember Dolly with love she always welcomed me into their home with many sleep overs, taking me on day trips and when Jackie and me went to our school holidays to Hastings each year Dolly and Bob came to see us on Sundays and included me in their days fun. I think of Dolly as my 2nd Mum.
I am proud to know this family Jackie has been a faithful friend. I share numerous happy memories of Dolly and can still hear her calling “Jacquline” as she called me “Susan” 💐
Mum, my best friend who loved me like no other. The person who taught me well and looked out for me. You gave me courage. I will miss your daily calls to check in on me. I will miss you for ever but you will be on my mind every day. Lots of Love xo Lesley
Farewell to my much-loved Aunt Dolly. All my life she was kindness itself to me. A warm welcome, friendly smile and genuine interest in my wife and in our kids when they came along. 'How are the children, Ian?' was always the first thing she said to me.
Dolly was a selfless, generous person with a great sense of fun. I particularly remember the parties at Bob and Dolly's over the years when she played the piano and everybody had such a great time singing and dancing along.
Rest in Peace, Dolly. It was a privilege to have known you.
