We are sad to announce that Gladys (our mum) passed away on 28th January at the grand old age of 92.
Though dementia robbed her of many recent memories, she kept her mischievous sense of humour right to the end. While visiting her in the care home, we joked that she'd be chasing the nice young men. Her eyes lit up, and though she'd barely spoken for a while, she replied "I can't catch them" !
We read Red Boxes to her, and it was clear that it brought back happy memories.
She passed away peacefully in the care home a few days later.
Her funeral will be on Tuesday 18th Feb, 12 noon, at St. Anne's Church, Haverthwaite.
