In loving memory of Janet Ireland, 1961 - 2023

Janet, my mum Marjorie Wilkinson and I had a connection through Guiding in South Liverpool over many years.  Also through our Baptist church association, our family being very active in the fellowship held in Wellington Road, Dingle.   Mum's and my Guiding goes back to Wellington Road Baptist, in 1960s and onwards, I also had packs over the years at  Ancient Chapel of Toxteth, Ullett Road, St Andrews New Brighton and Liscard URC Wirral, in the 1980's and onwards until retirement.  Many District, Divisional and County get togethers in South Liverpool brought us and our Guiding friends into contact and we have many happy memories of fun filled days. 

It was only last October 2022 that we made a new contact through our mutual interest in the work of World Day of Prayer, I was absolutely thrilled to see Janet and we had a really great time remembering those happy times and mutual friends.  It is difficult to put feelings into words but today listening to the tributes paid to Janet echoed the many memories mum and I have of her and it was good to be with you all to celebrate a great lady.
