Lizzie Carte
Lizzie's Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving took place in St. Nicholas' Church on Friday 9th May at 11.30, conducted by Canon Peter Bugg. It was a beautiful spring day and a beautiful service - so fitting for such a beautiful lady - with the church full to overflowing into the churchyard where the service was also broadcast. There were tributes and recollections of her life from family members and friends and the bible reading by Anthony Valentine. Our thoughts and love are with her family particularly, Eric, who is inviting donations to a fund to enable her brother, Billy, to continue his treatment for MS.
