These notices remain online forever as a permanent tribute, creating a safe space for family and friends to share photographs, leave personal memories, and raise donations in their memory.

In loving memory of a deeply cherished mom, nan, foster parent, daughter, sister, auntie and friend, Jusmine Griffin. A woman whose kindness, strength and humour touched so many lives.

In Memoriams
Edna Mary Barker
Passed away 23 years ago today. Today we had some choices: we can shed a silent tear, or think of all the happiness we had when you were here. We can dwell on all the sadness and feel utterly bereft, or think of all the love and golden memories you left. By doing what you want us to and that's to wear a smile, while thinking of our dearest mom who made our lives so worthwhile. Missing and loving you so much mom. Daughter Beverley, son-in-law Philip, grandsons Graham and David, Graham's wife Emma and your loving great-grandchildren George and Abigail. Also remembering dear Uncle Albert who passed away 19 years ago today. God bless.
Elaine Marcia Busby
