Rosa, Diana and Family
We know there will be a big gap in your lives without Edwin's sense of humour and assertive attitude.
As his sister I remember him as a cheeky and highly sensitive boy and appreciate the influence he had on my life as we played together.
May Edwin rest in peace after a life of immense bravery and fortitude.
All our love
Betty, Jill,Clare and family
