It was my pleasure to meet Di and her husband in 2001 when they moved into Village Oaks and they entrusted myself and the staff with their care. She was grand lady and showed to all the love she had for her husband, children and grandchildren. Her
laugh/smile was contagious. She will be missed by those who knew her. Sue Slack
My sincere sympathy to each of you for your loss. Psalms 90:10 says that the usual life span is 70 or 80 years. When man was created, it was God’s purpose that he would live forever. Romans 5:12 explains why sickness and death occurs. His purpose has not changed. He assures us that he will restore life to all who are in his memory right here on earth under the best conditions.
Revelation 21:3-5
John 5:28,29
Pslams 37:29
