Linda Brommeland It was always so nice to visit her home. Good food and good memories.
I will miss you Joan, you were like a Sister to me. So many memories together over the years, still think about the time you came to Scotland, then we went back down to Wales were we were both born actually the same house. I still have that photo. From there to Paris, that was a fun holiday. You were so good to everyone. Sleep tight, love from Jeff , and all the family. xx
