A lovely tribute to a remarkable woman.

I loved your mam and was lucky enough to work on a couple of SEN projects with her for South Tyneside Council. We really, really got on well. She nicknamed me 'Sparky' and when I left the authority gave me a print by McGuinness having learned mining was a huge part of my own ancestry. I loved this piece, you brought her back to life for me. I really miss her.

I loved your Ma. So many things you have written make the memories flood back. A very special lady who I miss dearly.
