Aunt Let was affectionately loved by all. She arrived in the UK from her native country of Jamaica in the early 60s. She has a wonderful network of family and friends alike.

Everyone knew 'Aunt Let','Let''Leticia' or 'Mrs Rose' - 'Sister Rose,'Aunty Rose.' She was a kind person who was always willing to listen and help. Aunt Let was a devoted Christian and took her faith very seriously and encouraged all around her to value God's teachings. She adored fresh flowers and always had them in her Dining Room, Living Room and Hallway. She baked many cakes for weddings, christenings and birthdays and spent much of her time preparing fantastic Jamaican cuisine. For all who tasted the 'hand' of Aunt Let, you can truly say she was a cook and a half!!!! She held lots of celebration parties ensuring that family and friends came together on a regular basis, especially on Boxing Day. I hope our generation will continue this legacy as it has now sewn the seed where we look to our elders with respect and for guidance.

She played a huge part in my life and was instrumental in raising me as a child with my parents. I spent lots of time with Aunt Let, she took me all over London by tube, bus and by foot as a child/teenager. She taught me many things which I will cherish and have passed on to my own children. I was fortunate to celebrate my 40th birthday with Aunt Let present, this I will hold dear in my heart forever. She loved children and had Nieces,Nephews,God Children and many other children who she displayed kindness and affection to. 'Crunch' aka 'Fonz',,'Sugar Plum','Aunt Daisy', you all know who you are, she loved you 110 per cent!

Aunt Let lived in our family house for approximately 2 years of which I enjoyed having her 'live downstairs' and I could visit her when I liked! The only thing she didn't like was when my siblings and I jumped up and down upstairs and disturbed her!!! OUch!

She was a lovable character who was not afraid to speak her mind! If you didn't like to hear the truth or face reality - don't ask Aunt Let for her point of view!! (LOL) She was a straight talker and did not take any prisoners!!

Aunt Let you are dearly missed and will always be loved and remembered in the hearts of everyone who's life you touched.

You are gone, but not forever. We will see you again in a better place.

We love you Aunt Let xxxxxxxxx

X ALL MY LOVE TO YOU X

When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you
For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lifts the heavy load
But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by

~~GOD BLESS YOU LOVE FROM CHER XX~~

Missing You ...............

What can I say, I have known you all my life, in Jamaica as well as here in England. I know your cherished daughter has been gone for a long time now, but at last mother and daughter has been reunited - what a celebration you must both be having. I am really sad that you have gone so soon because I no longer have another aunt to speak to - and to remind me of my beginnings and how things used to be. God Bless and please tell Aunty Ilene that she is sadly missed by me also. Love Claudette

A CANDLE OF LOVE XXX

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You
