In loving memory of Janet Ireland, 1961 - 2023

Dear Janet, You were so special and you will be so missed. I am so sorry we never had that coffee and catch up we promised and I never got to tell you how much you helped me. I hope you know this. Your legacy will live on through all the people you supported, their families, friends and carers, but also through the staff and volunteers you nurtured, trained and encouraged with patience, kindness and understanding, including me. Thank you for helping me rebuild my confidence when I had been out of paid work for a long time. You truly were an angel, it was clear that you were at your happiest when you were helping others, which is such a beautiful quality and you inspired the best in others also. Nothing was ever too much. My mum will also miss your smile and having a natter with you in the shop. You always brightened up her day when you popped in. We both feel blessed to have known you and take comfort from knowing that you will be smiling down on both of us. May god bless you, your family and friends and everyone else who is missing you.
