Patricia, do you remember when I came to Havering for the first time? I remember it as vividly as if it was yesterday. It was Easter 1976. I was 17 and Linley invited me to stay with you guys for the long weekend. I was a city girl, having never set foot on a farm before, and a shy only child of parents who barely spoke to each other. What a compete culture shock it was for me to be suddenly part of an amazing household. A household where it was just plain loud. At Havering everyone spoke at the same time, incessantly! But everybody listened to each other's opinions and everyone clearly deeply cared for everyone else. I was completely blown away by the obvious true affection you all had for each other. It taught me real life values about family and goodness that I hope that have helped shape the person I became.
But I wasn't the only extra person you, Louis and the kids shared their precious Easter with that year. There were actually 26 of us for Sunday lunch! I don't think my parents even knew 26 people. It was mind blowing and incredible. How I loved being part of that group. I felt so special and I remember hoping that I might be invited back some time and being so grateful that I was able to return so frequently. The talking never stopped although we had to all talk louder to be heard. But everyone seems to listen harder then too. Because, in your world, no one is overlooked.
Well, now over 45 years have passed. When I met Trevor you and Louis enveloped him into your embrace. Then when I had Sam you welcomed him as if you had never met a small child before. You've continued to be an inspirational Mother, Grandmother and, somehow, a friend to all of us. You have always made time for us and have a special trait of being able to give us your attention when it mattered. It has been a rare privilege and an honour to have been a small part of your life. You will be missed.
We are very sorry that we are not to be able to be with you today but we sending our love. With fond memories, Kathy, Trevor and Sam.
