Nicole and Jordan so so sorry for your loss Our hearts are full of love for you guys for Nana

Dear Laurie, Your mother will be greatly missed; may you be comforted by your many memories of her and with her. Your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My Aunt Betty was so special to me from the day I was born on July the 1st 1947 in Stoke Orchard Cheltenham when she was living with my mum and Dad, Dora and Albert Baldwin. She was 12 years old soon to 13 on July 10th. She insisted on giving me my Cristian Names, Geoffrey Kevin Denis Baldwin. I am so grateful to her as Aunt Betty was like a mother to me in so many ways, always there to comfort me, give me advice when I had difficult times. When my Dad passed in Madison, on vacation Christmas Eve 1988, I flew over for his funeral with my younger brother Stephen and younger sister Yvonne, the day after Boxing Day. My Eldest sister Christine stayed home to take care of my family to ensure they had a good Xmas. Christine and Betty were very close as Christine was just 2 when I was born and Aunt Betty treated Christine as her youngest sister. Aunt Betty visited us many times in England over the years brining us fabulous presents, roller skates, cowboy outfits complete with toy guns and much more. She was always so generous with her heart. Back to my dads funeral. My mum was staying with her sister Silvie, so no room for me as she only wanted Stephen and Yvonne. Off course Aunt Betty, without hesitation told me I was to stay with her. She helped prepare my Eulogy for my Dad. She focused on Me giving me the strength to deliver it with out hesitation but with tears at the time. So kind considerate always reassuraning. She was and always will be at the centre of my heart, so graceful, always smartly dressed, never a bad word spoken, about any person. I will always treasure the many special moments we had together over the years. RIP my special Angel. All my Love your loving Nephew, Geoffrey, Kavin Denis Baldwin🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jami - I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. My thoughts will be with you and your family during this sad time. Sending you my love and a BIG hug.
