Hello and my most sincere thoughts and love with you all. It's Kerri Clarke, Peters and Sue's daughter ( Clarke ) Myself, brothers and Mum were trying to come and pay respects to you and Aunty May today. Unfortunately mum fell ill last night and we couldn't make it. I can't drive otherwise would have picked them up, but ive only just found the information as to times and where. My sincere apologies to you all. Our hearts, thoughts and Love are with you all and will hopefully catch up with you soon for a real hug. I remember May from little, our visits to see everyone at Christmas at Nans and of course our little treat off you at the bakery when we got off the bus! Always big smiles and beauty. Even Ethan my son got to share the joy of that. Hes 27 and lives in Manchester now so a bit away. Our Love to all of you. All the Clarkes. Xxx
