SAD NEWS
It was our privilege at SHLTC to have met Louise Wood. Louise was amazing, with a no nonsense attitude, a kindness composed of wisdom and a happy disposition that emitted from grace and goodness. Louise was one of the most amazing people who less than a year ago developed an aggressive cancer, and died peacefully at the Bexley and Greenwich hospice on 15.4.23
There will be a Memorial American on 1st May 2 – 4pm and her daughters will be presenting the trophy. An invite will go out to all members with a link to book.
