I was lucky to have known you down 2 different routes as a fellow worker when I started my career in care aged 17 and latterly as a fellow board member of the GCPA.
When I was 18 we were both on a shift at a newly opened home when one of our ladies died and it was my 1st death. You were fantastic reassuring me as we washed and changed the lady HOWEVER when we sat her up and forwards you didn’t prepare me for the almighty groan that escaped the lady! I screamed and jumped when her head rolled onto my shoulder and all you could do was almost wet yourself laughing saying "oh I forgot to say that sometimes happens"
When we spoke of this a few years later as board members we both had a giggle and you told me that afterwards you always used me as an example as it was so funny! Sleep tight lovely lady it was truly an honour to have known you xx
