I remember first meeting "Mrs Smyth" in 1995 when my parents moved next door (I was 13)

Mrs Smyth (Gwen) was always very friendly and would happily take the time to chat on many occasions.

Very sad to hear of this and hope family are doing well.

Wow, a wonderful age. We knew Gwen just a little, as a neighbour, some years ago. A lovely, gentle lady. May she rest peacefully
