RIP Beryl Joan Jecks
A lovely, kind and generous lady passed away yesterday. She had been ill for several months, but she endured it bravely and with fortitude. She was a very special lady and is hugely missed by her husband and four sons, as well as the numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Bye, mum.
Beryl Jecks – 1929-2015

So sorry for your loss, Michael. I lost my younger brother a fortnight ago after many years of suffering a mental illness. There are no words, just keep your family and friends close as you will all need each other. And of course hold all the good memories dear.
