Hello John, Can see my friend Kath Farrell & Rita Blackledge at the back.Say hello to your mum . I started as a junior and worked with your mum and Miss Procter in the dress dept.I was known as Miss Holland.I started in 1967 till 1973.Hope your mum remembers me I loved working with her.
Hello Joan, mum passed away in her sleep on 19th Jan this year. Since dad passed away in April 2004 she was not happy and missed him tremendously. I miss him so much too. Mum had a fall in Sept last year and broke her thumb and cracked a rib or two. It was a this time they found she had an Aortic aneurysm and was having to attend various clinics and she was admitted to hospital a couple of times. The doctors told us it could rupture anytime and she was too old and ill for surgery and that is what killed her. Pauline and I found her in bed but she hadn't suffered and died in her sleep which is one consolation. Being the only child it devasted me to loose her especially after losing dad. If you are in contact with any of the other ex C&A girls please let them know.
Great Photo - Molly Rutter was my gran and sadly she died in June this year (a week before her 90th birthday)
The way she looks on this photo takes me right back to when I was a young boy in the 70s - this is just how I remembered her back then.
I am searching for a Joan Pennington born 13th Feb 1925 in Madras, India. She lived in Huyton in 1940. Janet
