Our family have only just heard of the death of Iris. To the Laventure family, Iris was a remarkable person encountering so many challenges in her own life but as much, much more than a friend. We will forever be in Iris's debt for the wonderful support she gave to my wife Sylvia, and my family as she experienced her own journey through dementia. Iris' kindness, love, sense of fun and caring will remain with us forever. So many happy hours spent together and the very best of family friends, in fact, Iris became a very close part of our family. RIP Iris and love from all the Laventures, big and small. X

Remembering the great family get togethers at Christmas, the holidays at Butlins when I was a young ‘un and not forgetting your more recent visit to Allendale with Lin & Rich to stay with Bryan (dad). We always had great fun and you were such a good sport - despite being allergic to all my animals! I often think of those happy days. Rest easy Iris, gone but never forgotten. With love, Brigitte.

To a dear mother. I will miss you so much, and love you forever. Sleep tight love Tracey XXX
