First and foremost for me Doreen was Dani's wonderful mum. With a wonderful warmth that even as a child you would feel completely comfortable. Her dressing-up box was legendary as was her ability to make a coach journey bearable with her trick of reading our palms. The last time I saw Doreen she was smiling, laughing and looking proud of her family (at Madeline's christening) I will always remember her that way xxx
