Had 2 funerals to attend last Wednesday.
-
Margaret Snowden was a fellow Governor at my school, and died having served here for 30 years, just 3 weeks before the closure of the school.
Her life had been given to the service of helping children, particularly children in need. She had served as a teacher to children in a remand home in the seventies before becoming the first special needs teacher at a newly reformed comprehensive school.
Up until last December, well into her eighties, she’d visited a local primary school to help children most in need, with their reading, 4 times a week.

Marie Brown, of Linton, died in her sleep at the age of 34. At one stage, it had been thought she might not live long at all, but almost hourly attention from parents Archie and Cynthia saw her through.
She loved pink, so everyone at the funeral wore pink in her honour.

The death was announced on Friday of Graham Jackson, who became a Notts County Councillor on the same day as me in 1993, serving Wilford until 1997 and West Bridgford East until 2005.
