I had the sad task today of saying goodbye to a wonderful friend of my late Mother’s. Doreen and her husband Jack featured largely in my childhood, and will always be remembered for the happy times they spent with my family. They brought laughter and happiness with them always, and even in their toughest times there was always a smile. They will both be sadly missed, not just by their family, but also by so many people of Aberkenfig. We will not see the likes of them again.

My sympathies and condolences to Kay and Alan, and all of the family.
