NOTICE BOARD
DOT CHATTING and BARBARA SIMKINS
Following on from the passing of Dot Chatting And Barbara Simkins who have both lost their lives to Cancer.
I have known Dot for a good many years she has supported the Memo dances and our group holidays.
I spoke with her about 3 months ago and was really surprised how positive she was.
I remember her birthday earlier this year when she was accompanied by her granddaughter, she had bought some cakes. When asked her age I said “sixty one again?” her granddaughter replied “I was not even born then”.
Barbara and her friend Celia have only been coming to the Memo for a few years, they to supported the Memo dances and our group holidays.
I also spoke to Barbara earlier this year during the lockdown, as she lost her husband recently, she to was positive but felt lonely being in the house on her own.
Dot and Barbara were the kindest people you could ever wish to meet and they will be sadly missed.
R.I.P. TO OUR FRIENDS WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU!
