To Debbie and Kym (and families).
I am thinking of you all.
I was so very sorry to hear of your Mum’s passing from my Mum.
Shirley was a big part of our lives growing up (as Bob Davies was my dad’s (Ian Wells) best friend. You might remember the four of them spent much time together).
I have lovely memories of your Mum and always called in to visit when in Hoki. Rest In Peace dear lady.

Sincere sympathy to all the family
Chris and Lynn – my sincere sympathy, I will remember Shirley with fondness, as she was a great adviser with her knowledge of fabric and all the other requirements that I purchased over the years, while she was working in Millers, plus she loved it when my 1st baby Amy arrived, she insisted I bring her in so she could have a cuddle, and make a fuss
Best wishes to you and your families
