Dear King family

I haven’t met any of you personally… but have seen photos of wonderful family celebrations over the past three years or so since I met Mandy at book club. it was always a delight to chat to her and get to know her a little better . I really enjoyed  her quick wit and bright, warm personality. She talked of you all with immense pride and joy , and I was impressed with her wide knowledge of books and her enthusiasm to share her views . As my husband had unfortunately been unwell over the last  two years we were able to compare notes. Mandy coped so bravely with such a hard diagnosis and I have been so saddened that she lost her fight . She will be missed so much by all who knew her, and I send my most sincere condolences  to you all.
