The late Jean Rawsthorne (nee Rimmer)
Gillian, Paul, Heather and all the Rawsthorne family would like to say a huge thank you for all of the lovely cards and messages of condolence following the death of Jean on the 5th September, aged 97 years. A truly amazing lady. A heartfelt thank you also goes for the donations given so generously in her name which amounted to £920 - a reflection of the high regard in which she was held. As she wished this has now been forwarded to the Rector for the benefit of St Mary’s Church, Rufford with Holmeswood.
Thanks once again.
