I can’t thank you enough for your care of Mummy over the past 10 years. We always felt that she was so loved and held a special place in the hearts of so many of you. Thank you too for making our time with her in her final hours last week as calm and as easy as they could be. We are going to miss her terribly.
I will miss too my visits to The Old Vicarage, everyone was always so friendly and welcoming. Jane.

Thank you for your wonderful kindness and care of Tony over 4 plus years. Knowing just how well he was cared for by you all, helped us all during this demanding time.
To all of the staff at The Old Vicarage - a heart felt thank you from all of the Tony Ridlely family.

Thank you so much to the thought, time and effort you put in to making Mum’s landmark birthday so special. Our family and Mum’s friends were so appreciative of your kindness and great welcome. We have warm memories of the day we spent together.
With kindest regards Claire & Alison.

I am writing to thank you for all you did to make Connie’s life enjoyable at the end of her days. She has the highest praise for you. She loved the way you were so creative and decorated the home so beautifully. And she really enjoyed your activities once she has plucked up the courage to join in! You are so caring and wonderful, thank you.
With love Philippa, Hilary & Dennis.

Thank you very much for all your kindness yesterday. You are so thoughtful. It was a lovely surprise to see the photo of Mum holding the terrapin, together with the pretty vase of daffodils - and to drink sherry! And lovely to see Mum’s friends watching the tree planting in the sunshine. I will miss coming to see you all.
With love Philippa xx
