I remember 'helping' Grandma with the laundry, pretending her washing line was the sail of my ship and hoisting it up and down. She loved adventures, real and imaginary!

My memory is of of a happy bustling Auntie Gill, always chatty, always interested in others. A very happy memory is meeting up at Grandma's in Portsmouth with Auntie Gill, Uncle Bob, Alan and Tracey and my Mum and me (Dad too if he was not at sea) and We would head down to the seaside, often Old Portsmouth and walk and chat and run about and then go back to a wonderful tea at Grandma's. Always looked forward to their visits . Rest peacefully. Love Mary xx

(A lovely memory and thought from Carole Lea, Mum's Guiding friend, she was a great help and support to Mum). It is a sad time for all of us we will miss Gill but we have so many memories to cherish over many many years, so what can be better than that. In 1978 we moved here to H.W. and as usual my daughter joined Brownies, I got my Warrant "as you do" and went to Brownies Revels in Miss West's Garden at Freith for a Seaside Theme. We were one of the first packs's to get there so were unpacking our stuff looked up and there was Gill waving Oakridge Flag dressed in a Bathing Costume. We had such a laugh most of us just had Summer Hats on Gill was so much fun.

Will miss you dear friend a lovely gentle Soul so privileged to have had you in my life much love great memories Sheila Doreen and Sarah

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Gillian. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
