Our sincere condolences for your loss.
Gerald was at school with Nevile in Salisbury Wiltshire in the 1950s. We made contact again in the late 1990s. The photo was taken in our garden on our return from a holiday in Scotland. Jan and Nevile had house-sat for us and become very attached to our cats - Shadow in the photo. We enjoyed their hospitality when we spent time with them in Auckland in 2012. Jan was so welcoming and generous.

Neville, Siân, Perrin and whanau. I am so sorry to read of your loss. I have such very happy memories of our time together in the Kingswell HS days. Jan's friendship meant a lot to me and we shared some great times together along with you guys. I have thought of you all over the years but sadly we lost contact. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Jan would've left you all with some awesome memories. I can imagine her being a very proud Nonny.
