Rita was a fun loving person who was always putting people before herself. We want to remember the wonderful person she was by reflecting on her 86 years. Please upload your pictures with a caption. Mum didn't want flowers but asked for a donation to Cancer Research, please see the 'donate' link on this page.

We will be toasting Rita at the Fig and Leaf Public House in Heybridge from 12:30pm onwards. It is the pub on the roundabout, just down from Boucherne.

Our boys will be 60 next year and so our friendship has lasted all that time through so many good times and I have lovely memories. We also supported each other through some very difficult times and I always valued your friendship. I miss you but you are at peace now. God bless you. Mary x

  • Great times. Unfortunately pictures are not so easy to find from back then as they are today. I'll try and dig one out for the slideshow. See you on Friday for a G&T for Rita
