From 1920 - 31 they gave her a home and a good childhood, and laid the foundations of the deep Christian faith which sustained her all through her life. She never ceased to be grateful for their kindness and care.
When tomorrow starts without me and I am not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
Peggy was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was very proud of her husband, Tom, her son, Peter, and grandchildren Kate, Joe and Rob.
Regina Ochei dedicated her life to teaching and supporting children - not least us, her own children. She and her youngest daughter did the London Bridges Walk for this cause, and Regina would be glad to be remembered through donations towards building futures for vulnerable children.

Phil was a talented footballer and all round sportsman, loving son and brother to twin Andy. During his two year battle with a brain tumour, Phil had to also deal with the death of his mother Chris. This incredible young man astounded family, friends and doctors with his amazing sense of humour and enormous courage.
When my dad died at the great age of 96 it was a huge shock as just a few days before he had been laughing and joking at my 60th birthday. For as long as I can remember he and my mum, Ethel, had raised funds for the Children's Society.
Catherine (Catie) a life lived with depth and width not length, with quality not quantity.
Catherine always tried to live every day to the full. She loved dancing and art.
She was beautiful.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
Thank you for your donation in memory of a dear colleague and friend who will be greatly missed.
Bruce was a real family man and enjoyed nothing more than spending quality time with his wife, children and grandchildren, talking about football and telling jokes and stories. Bruce also loved his garden and especially his roses
Always cheerful and always happy and a long term supporter of The Childrens Society.
We, as a family, would like to thank everyone who donated so generously to the Church of England Children's Society in memory of our dear aunt, Dorothy Willetts.
In age she kept a secret truth,
The bubbling humour of her youth,
In conversation she'd evoke
The very best from other folk.

My beautiful son Sean was stillborn on the 21st of October 1993, he weighed 6lb and 7oz. I was 39 weeks pregnant and thought everything would be o.k. I didn't realise a baby could die so late in pregnancy. Daft i know, but all the same that is what i thought.
Loved Husband, father and Grandfather.
Lets keep trying to raise some money.
Betty - grandma of the world. Always more concerned about others than herself, she seemed to know how people were really thinking, understand what mattered and had ideas to help. With the highest standards of hospitality, personal caring - and cooking and baking - everyone loved to visit. We left feeling more loved and more confident.
In loving memory of Alice Mary May Wimsett, affectionately known to all as Ninny, who passed away in May 2010. She touched the lives of many people, and will be sorely missed. Nin was a special lady - always thinking of others ahead of herself, most notably underprivileged children.
In loving memory of Dan, beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend and colleague.
After a happy Norfolk childhood Dan studied politics at Liverpool University, where he fell in love with the city.
He had a strong sense of social justice and wanted the world to be a fairer place.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
In loving memory of Sidney Weir...
