Most sincere condolences to Barry, Gail, Shaun and to all Aunt Doreen's loved ones. Doreen, who was married to my mum Sheila's late brother Jack, was a lovely person who was always kind to me. Our family emigrated to Canada in 1958, and when we went back to England for a holiday in 1962, I was out shopping with Doreen and as we passed a fishmonger's I mentioned that I loved cockles, but couldn't get them in Canada. She took me into the shop and bought pints of fresh cockles, then invited me to tea at her house where I sat down to an enormous delicious platefull of them. One of the best, most memorable meals of my life. Dear Aunt Doreen - a long life, well lived.
