Violet and Bob watched our family grow for twenty one years. As neighbours they were part of family life, they were just there.... When little and learning to cook the girls would always take a sample for them to try, and the comments were always positive, even if the offering was slightly burnt! Bob would spend hours talking to George about cricket and supported him through the cricketing ranks as he grew. Always interested, and wanting a blow by blow account of each match. Our strongest memories are of Violet and Bob turning up at one of the children's parties... Violet dressed as a pumpkin and Bob as a spider! They were always up for a bit of fun. George can remember (when he was very little) going to play cricket with Bob in their garden with the cricket gnomes ..... who actually came alive during the game! Those memories will never be lost and are treasured. Raspberries, runner beans, Cobb nuts, and apples ... sharing and swapping home grown vegetables was always good fun. I still look out of the window to see if the washing is out, and if Bob is working on his vegetable patch. They are very much missed and won't be forgotten. Deborah and family The Pardoes
