Dear Sarah and Mark
I am writing on behalf of my cousin Jim Rider and myself. Your grandmother Dora was my dad and Jim’s mum’s cousin from the Livesey family. Our Grandmother Nellie Livesey was married to Matthew Graham.
We were very sorry to hear about your mum Jacqui and send our sympathy and very best wishes to you both and your families. The last time we met up with Jacqui was not long before she moved to be near you Sarah. As children we were good friends and saw quite a bit of each other during Cheadle/Halifax family get togethers. We then met up again when you were children and lived near us in Bucks and met up a few times. More recently Jacqui and I had coffee occasionally at John Lewis when I was in Manchester.
Jacqui was a lovely warm person and we always enjoyed her company. She will leave a huge gap in all your lives but I hope many happy memories of her will help you as you grieve.
With our very best wishes, Jim and Helen xx
