To Doreen and family
So sorry to hear about Terry's death. As fellow members of Wiltshire Wildlife Trust in Swindon, Terry was a valued member of our committee and I remember his military precision for all the successful events he organised.
Our thoughts are with you

Hi Jane, Thank you for your very kind donation. We have now been able to donate nearly £500 to the Prospect Hospice who cared for Terry so well in his final days Regards. Niki
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. King's passing. I only had the pleasure to meet him on one occasion, but he was a delight and loved entertaining all the children that happen to be at this gathering. I know he will be greatly missed and as Sue commented - we shall all see him again.
Love leaves a memory no-one can steal. A daddy’s love is cherished forever, I will miss him greatly and see him again. John 14:1-6.
