You were my work mum and always looked after me from the day I joined in 1988. I remember we went for a picnic at the imperial war museum when I was on maternity leave, sitting on a bench eating sandwiches with my new baby - she’s 26 now - having a natter in the sun. Happy memories going to miss you rest well xxx

Such a lovely lady who looked after me from my first day in the office. Never short on advice and we'd always enjoy a good old chat. Rest in peace Doreen 🩷🩷🩷

Doreen.. you'll always be my work mum.. you took me under your wing when I joined the office in 1989 and we stayed in touch ever since. I'm so saddened by your passing, but so many people consider you their work mum that I know you have touch and endless number of hearts. Love you always and I'll be thinking of you on your birthday and on mine (2 days after yours) sleep tight lovely lady 🩷 xxx

New Years Eve will never have the same meaning now 😞
Who will I listen to Big Ben with when it’s New Years Day over here? Give Uncle Porky the biggest hug for me.
Love you both so so much and will miss you for eternity xxxx
