With heavy hearts, we send all our love to John during this sad time. Our mum, Katie Miles, was more than just your house cleaner; over the years our families became deeply connected. We feel truly blessed to have had you both in our lives. Now, Mum and Jeanette have much to catch up on. Rest in Peace, dear Jeanette. Lots of love to you John.

For my Gorgeous Godmother - your love, kindness, loyalty, generosity, and bravery are an inspiration that we can all aspire to, but now leaves us with such a heartfelt loss of your presence. I'm so proud to be your goddaughter and your commitment to that over 55 years makes me feel blessed beyond words. Fly high to the other side Jeanette knowing how much you are loved, Julie xx

Unfortunately we are in Australia and not able to make it to Jeanette's service on Saturday. Jeanette was first of all one of my 9 hole golfing buddies and thereafter18 holes. Missed her wicked sense of humour and her friendship a lot when she was no longer able to play golf.She always brightened things up and rallied us especially when our golf was not going so well. I always looked forward to playing with her and sharing her company.
Deepest sympathy to John and all the family from Mary and Richard Pryce.xoxo
