The Fredric family would like to pay special tribute to the staff at Rowena Jackson for the care, kindness and genuine love and concern they showed Mum throughout her time there. The compassion shown to her, and also to us as a family, meant a great deal. It was very evident in recent days just how much many of the staff genuinely loved Mum, and how deeply affected some of them were by her passing. We will always be grateful for the dignity, warmth and friendship they brought into her life.
