In loving memory of our Mum, Belinda Louise Ridgwell, who passed away peacefully at home on Friday, 17 January 2020.
Mum, Boo, B was 53. Born on 6 January 1967, coming into this world a fighter. Daughter to her loving Mum and Dad, Brenda and Terry Legg. The 2nd sibling of two brothers (Roger and Ben) and sister (Rachel), her life was spent growing up in Leigh-on-Sea making a tonne of friends as she went with a feisty attitude, hugest smile and wicked laugh! She then met our Dad, Simon. Then came along us, Matthew and Thomas. Her boys. She was just awesome.
This last round of Breast Cancer metastasised to her Liver and meant that from December 2017 she knew it was Stage 4 or 'terminal', and that this time she understood she couldn't be fixed. Mum was determined to continue living and loving her life, soaking up each and every moment. She fought hard battles along the way. She was terribly sad at times, frightened and exhausted but with her positive outlook and zest, made some incredible memories for and with friends, and family; went to some amazing places on holiday. Visited the theatre, the cinema, long dog walks, afternoon teas and meals, and many, many nights out. She truly was surrounded by enormous love and support and, in return, we were drowned by her love of us and life.
We hope as many of you as possible can join the family on Thursday, 13 February for her 'Celebration of Life'.
Please meet us and Mum at The Lawns at 2.00pm you are then welcome to join the family for the procession to her Burial Service, or remain at The Lawns for Tea and Coffee until the procession returns for the 2.45pm Celebration of Life Service in the Orangery. After which, we will all move to the Ball Room to celebrate with shared memories.

Mum planned her 'Celebration of Life' meticulously leaving very strict instructions; her wish was to repeat her party last Summer. Most importantly it's a celebration to take time out to remember her and be together in that love and friendship of her.
Our Mum, our Daughter, Our Sister, our Friend. Our Warrior.
