Did was the most amazing Aunt and Great Aunt. Did and Ken created the most incredible memories for us as kids - welcoming their 'northern' family always, with such love. The ultimate host, Did's buffets were legendary, her picnics vast and her generosity endless. To many memories to list, but the long summer days in the orchard, making us a treehouse, letting us slide down plastic sheets in the garden, taking us up the Malvern hills, letting us sell (practically giveaway) plums on the roadside, hosting the best rounders tournaments... Did was the glue for all our families and the centre of it all. We will miss her so much, but are so happy and thankful that we had her.
