My darling sister Marianne together with her exceptional husband Jeff, became the very heart of our family. Marianne was a stalwart all my life and helped me through my formative years in Manchester allowing me to stay in their lovely house in Bowden for over a year; then becoming a dear friend of my wife, Rosie. I am very proud to have had such a classy and lovely sister. I have endless memories of her and I will miss her very much. Brother Nick XX
