Cynthia   10 #55 Posted June 16, 2011 my mother was betty lobb before she married she used to talk about you.  We came over to Sheffield on vacation and I phoned your Grandmother to find out where Betty lived as we had lost touch with one another only to discover that Betty had died two weeks before. I was devastated, we were such good friends and I spent many happy hours at your Grandparents home. You were lucky to have such loving parents & Grandparents.  Cynthia.
