Rest in peace Mrs Hipwell. You were a good friend to our mum and kind to us children. Fifty years on I remember your kindness at buying me a lovely purple jumper and lending me a nightie for a field trip. I can still visualise your back garden, with Presley the cat, your tin bath and the air raid shelter. With love and gratitude xx

Rest in peace Mrs Hipwell, our next door neighbour when growing up. I’ll always remember your infectious laugh and twinkling eyes, the apple tree in your garden from which we made toffee apples but above all your constant kindness.
