Dear Len, Richard, James and Catherine,
I heard today of your beloved Tinker's passing in July and send our deepest sympathy for your loss. We hope to send some photos by snail mail of her taken in the 1950s and 1960s. She loved you all so much and felt such pride in you all.
Charles and Morvyth

Dear Tink, I shall remember all our happy times together. We had known each other since we were 17 or 18 and shared some great events together including our weddings and you always referred to my wedding dress as OUR wedding dress because you wore it at your marriage to your beloved Len. I am sad I didn't know you had passed away in July.
With much love from your old friend Morvy xox

Tinker, my favorite nail client by far. Always up for a chat about her life with her beloved Len, her travels and the family she adored. She spoke with such pride about her children and grandchildren.
Tinker always showed genuine interest in others, our conversations were never one-sided. I´ll truly miss our monthly catch-ups. In your honour, I´m naming your favourite nail colour after you.
Thank you for trusting me to bring a little colour to your beautiful spirit. You´ll always have a special place in my heart.
