HERE are the death notices published in the Gazette this week:

Derek Charman

Derek Charman 29.8.2020 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So he put His arms around you, And whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us; He only takes the best. All our love miss you, Pat and Kevin, Theresa, Robin, Terry, Antony and Grandchildren.
