In loving memory of Lesley Higgins who sadly passed away at her home on 20th May 2016 aged 52 years.

Lesley wasn't one to dwell on the sadness or the obstacles in her way. Throughout her life she always found the positives, and encouraged everyone to look on the bright side. Her smile was infectious and she'd often be found giggling.

Throughout her battle with cancer she remained resolute that it would not beat her. She was determined (some would stay stubborn) and continued bravely for as long as she could.

If she was here while we are writing this, she would not want us to list the events in her life, but to remember the times that she made us smile or helped us out.

It's important to remember Lesley's wishes at this time. She was adamant that we are not to be sad (although this is very challenging), and that we should be celebrating her life instead. Remember - she was always looking for the positives.

Lesley asked that nobody wears black to her funeral - we are celebrating her life and her life was full of excitement, joy and colour. She did not want any wreaths, so we have decided to collect donations for Cancer Research UK instead.

Lesley was an amazing lady. She faced everything in life with her beautiful smile. She was an inspiration to me and to the many children she taught. Goodbye Lesely, you will be sadly missed but you will be in the hearts of all that knew you forever.
