What terribly sad news about my cousin Dorothy. I remember she and her son David used to visit and stay with us from the 60s onwards. Her visits were always full of fun and joy. She and my mum got on more like sisters than auntie/niece, and they always shared much laughter and gossip.

I recall that she often visited from far flung locations and I remember tales of Australia, Brazil etc. When she came there were often nights out in the Polish club in Bury, and I remember much drinking and Polka dancing with my dad.

I also remember holidays we sent together in Bournemouth, and what lovely times our families spent together.

My wife Nicole and I were delighted to see her and Dennis at our wedding and they contributed to such lovely memories.

My very deepest condolences to you Dennis, I will miss Dorothy very much.
