To Bruce & family. Our most sincere condolences on the passing of Deirdre. I often think back to when me & Pete were joined at the hip I looked at Dei as my second mum and remember her with love & the utmost respect. I feel I´m a better man today for knowing both Bruce and Dei, both at times guiding me through life and I wasn´t aware of it at the time. I am grateful for the input & care in my life that Both Bruce & Dei showed me. Our thoughts & best wishes are with you all at this very sad time.

To Bruce and the Family. We were saddened to hear of Dei's passing. She will be remembered by us as a strong and resilient character, who was always ready to take on a challenge. She was also a loving wife and mother. She made everyone welcome and was an attentive host. She had an excellent sense of humour and enjoyed a good laugh. We extend our deepest sympathy to Bruce and the family. She will be sadly missed.
From the Adams family.
