OBITUARIES
and dad experienced the worst nightmare of any parent, losing their
eldest daughter to cancer. Again, mum bolstered the whole family at
this difficult time.
At the age of 80ish they decided to broaden their horizons. First to Alaska and
then New Zealand. Finally, they found their winter sun destination in Madeira,
where they went for eleven years running. Mum loved to travel and had great
joy in regaling us all about their exploits. She would so enjoy the times we all
went to France as a huge family, always managing to feed us all at a drop of a
hat. Mum loved food and talking about it. She wrote recipes for ‘BT dial a
recipe’ and also a recipe book for an Austrian cooker company.
Throughout mum's life her faith kept her strong. Many times, she would tell dad
that her Sunday communion was so important to her - it set her up for the week
to come.
Her whole life was dedicated to others, over and above herself. Mum's faith
reminds us of a passage in the Bible that refers to those who put their trust in
their faith and "are lifted above the storms of life, like an eagle".
Just a This sums mum up to us.
Mum would have been overwhelmed to see so many friends here today,
helping us celebrate her life and would have been wondering what all the fuss
was about, thank you all for your kind support
Now Bin, mum and dad's great friend, would like to add a few memories of their
times in Scotland.
*****************
Good afternoon everybody. For those of you who don't know me, I am Binoy
Roy, or Bin, and
Gilbert and Barbara have been very close friends for nigh on forty years.
We have all been touched by Barbara, by her
kindness, her caring, her gentleness and her good
humour. She filled her life with so much that she hardly
allowed time for herself. Busy though she was, at the
centre of everything was her love for Gilbert and their
family.
Yet she and Gilbert had to bear what no parent
should ever have to face - the loss of their daughter,
Sue. The pain of that is still with them.
