In Memory Of Grandad Len

In Loving Memory Of

Grandad Len

Grandad Len
1933 – 2018

A big thanks to my grandad, the collector of all the things, breeder of tropical fish & budgies. A rock of the family for my 29 years on this earth, and who took me in for 5 years during a particularly difficult time of my life, and supported me entirely. It has been an honour to return that kindness in helping you complete your final journey to a funeral I am certain you would have liked. You will be very sorely missed now you’re gone, but you will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, 20th March 2018
