Sandy Cooley-Brown 10th November 2024

Sorry I couldn't get to Ann's celebration yesterday I would've loved to have been there she was just amazing . My gran was Dorothy Lidstone and my great grandmother was also Dorothy Lidstone having married Tom ( of Lidstone Butchers in Kingsbridge) . She always kept in touch with my mum Dorothy Cooley (nee Baker, Dorothy Lidstone's daughter) and dad , Lawrence and when dad died always rang myself to see how my mum was . I visited her a couple of times down in Devon rummaging through our family history, stories and gossip appertaining to those past which we would never otherwise know and will be for ever grateful to her and Peter for the incredible archive that we will treasure . A truly lovely lady
