Members of GWE were well represented today at the funeral of Debby Turner at St. Leonard's church Blunsdon. A wonderful service, the church was overflowing with mourners all paying a personal tribute to Debby. She was a very special person, generous, kind and enthusiastic. We will all miss her very much. RIP.
Was lovely meeting some of those who used to embroider with my mum (Debby) She often used to mention how she was off to her embroidery group, and it is great that she was able to hang out with like minded people who shared her passion. Caroline (Debbys daughter)
