Mark,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I know it is a difficult time. It is funny that someone else mentioned the similarity between your smile and mom's, for that is the first thing I saw when I saw that great picture. She will be in my prayers.

To everyone in the Rowden family:
So sorry to read about Marge's passing.
I remember all the wonderful times being with her at many family and social functions many years ago when I lived in Leicester.
Marge was full of fun and full of life and shared it with her family and others who were fortunate to know her.
Remember the good times with her. She was a celebration of life.
