Reported Deaths

Please see the message below shared with us by Jo Hewitt, Sidcot Local Meeting Clerk. We would be glad to hear from any OS who would like to share their memories of Grace.

Dear Friends, 

I am sorry I have to bring you the sad news that Grace Hopes died this morning, at the age of 89. She became ill quite quickly and was still in the lovely care home she has been in for the last few years, in her own room with a beautiful view. She had a lovely member of staff with her and died peacefully. 

Please hold Grace and her family in the Light. 

In Friendship

Jo
