  4. Gorgeous Garmie, family not by blood but by choice. Most of my childhood memories include her smiling face and infectious laugh. Always interested in chatting to every person and making them feel important, Garmie was a true lady, accepting of everyone and willing to open her heart to all. What an incredible woman, lucky to have known her. The world will miss you Garmie xx
