I am so sorry to hear that Di has passed. I only just found out through my mum Grace Brougham. Di was a lovely caring neighbour. I would have attended the funeral if I had known to pay my respects. I am going to miss our chats over the fence. I hope ratbag the cat has found a great home. She will be sorely missed. Sending love to the family for your loss.
