For Auntie Kathleen Sylvia Bell.
Auntie Sylvie, as I always called her, will be dearly missed. It may be many years since she left Britain to live in the USA with Uncle Howard and their large family, my wonderful American cousins, but I remember her so well. She had a huge smile and an easy laugh and loved her lively family. I remember the month before you all left Uncle Howard drove up in a station wagon the size of a small aircraft carrier full of cousins. It always made for an exciting day when the Bell family arrived and we Writtle Kelseys got swept up with you all like we were one family, which of course we are. That day Auntie Sylivie had arranged for us to have your garden toys, a large frame full of swings and a slide that was set up in our garden under the apple tree. It was a generous and thoughtful present for what was a poor family, and typical of aunt Sylvie and Uncle Howard. It was a sad day when you all left, in the Kelsey household and you were often in our thoughts.
Auntie Sylvia, I will always miss your smile, but I will think of it when I think of you. Rest in Peace
Steve Kelsey
