Auntie Mavis….where do we start to remember? The trips back home to Belfast, the chats in Ruby’s kitchen, the day trip to Dublin, the endless cups of tea (and a few Canadian club too) and the dreaded going home parties. #familytimeisbest
Answering the phone in Granny Ruby’s, Pamela’s or mums to hear a cheery ‘Hiiiii’ You loved seeing all our photographs, commenting on Facebook and hearing all about the holidays. We still can’t really take it in that we’ll never hear your voice again. Watch over us all. Till we meet again. Night night xx
Love Jacqueline & Louis, Jennifer, Pauline & David, Pamela & George, Louis, Ashley, Joe, Rebekah & Emma, Mark, Kristina, Paul, Dee & families

Jackie and Jeff,
My dear condolences go out to you and the rest of your family.
Jackie your mom was a very special person and will be dearly missed.❤️
My heart goes out to you all. Mavis came into my life thirty years ago when Jackie and Jeff were married. She became a friend that was always there when needed. We shared many special family dinners together, exchanged birthday wishes, shared a phone call when either of us not up to par and would share an afternoon cup of tea or lunch together. I will deeply miss her.

My thoughts are with you all. Mavis came into my life thirty years ago when Jackie and Jeff were married. She became a wonderful friend who was always there when needed. We shared many family dinners together, exchanged birthday wishes and phoned each other when we knew the other was not up to par. I wish we had had more lunches and afternoon teas together; they always left me feeling better. I will miss Mavis deeply.

My condolences to everyone. Mavis always had a smile on her face. My favourite memory of her is singing “Danny Boy” at the cabin. She will be missed!
Rest in Peace, Mavis

So sorry to hear about Mavis’s passing, she was a wonderful lady. Our condolences to the Kerr family.
Sending you all my heartfelt condolences during this very difficult time. I have many fond childhood memories being at the Kerr’s family home with my dear friend, Rhonda. Both Mr. & Mrs. Kerr always made me feel welcome and cared for; I also remember that Mrs. Kerr, always had a kind smile and a gentleness about her; she was also the influencer in my watching Coronation Street in my youth. Farewell Mrs. Kerr, with much love and respect.
