Lynda Lazzerini

We are sorry to have to bring you the sad news that Lynda Lazzerini, a long time ringer at Whatton in the Vale, and member of the Guild, has died following an illness.  

Our thoughts are with David and Anne. David would prefer not to deal with messages for a short time.

Lynda requested there should not be a funeral but, to celebrate Lynda’s life, there will be a day of ringing, in due course.

Phil’s funeral will be on Monday, 19th August at 1.15pm, at Rushcliffe Oaks Crematorium.

There will be a (lay) celebrant, and no religious content, as Phil wished. 
No mourning dress.  Donations for Cancer Research UK.
There will not be a wake afterwards as the family wish to quietly return home.

He served as Tower Captain at West Bridgford 1981 -1989.
