Margaret Belcher, Edgemont Retirement Residence
One of your residents ask me to send this. Deborah
To Shelly's Family,
We at The Edgemont were all so shocked to hear of Shelly's sudden and untimely death and you have all been very much in our thoughts since then.
The staff arranged a lovely memorial service for Shelly, yesterday and I wish she could have seen the chapel filled to overflowing into the corridor with residents and staff remembering her.
She was so efficient and kind and bright and her care made my move here eighteen months ago so much easier. I'd always hoped she'd end up back her again one day to brighten our days but it was not to be.
I have a blond daughter just Shelly's age and a granddaughter just a year or so younger than Shelly's youngest. Somehow they've always been sort of mixed together in my mind even though life has been so much kinder and easier for my family. I can't imagine how my granddaughter would cope without her mum. I wish you all strength and love to help one another.
With all my sympathy,
Margaret Belcher
