Mandy, you have left such a large gap in our book group. We miss your warmth, wit, intelligence, compassion and generosity of spirit. Thanks for all the great books you have encouraged us to read.

I first met Mandy at the BAAF practice development meetings many years ago and more recently worked with her in the Barnardos fostering service.Mandy was a warm charismatic person and we all miss her.

In memory of Mandy. Will miss you and your lists. Xx

Such a lovely way to remember Mandy.

I never met your mother but from knowing her daughter Nicola I can imagine how wonderful she was! :) x

Mandy will be really missed by everyone. A beautiful idea to remember her by love from Becky Richie and Corey xxx

Mandy, I miss and wish that I could still go to you for that much needed reassurance. You were a wonderful boss and a person that had such insight and compassion. I give you a virtual hug and hold you fondly in my memory. With Love Anthony xx

Dear Mandy, when we were young I thought you were dazzlingly clever, funny and kind hearted… that never changed. I can still see your smiling face.

What a gap you leave but what an inspiration to all with your never ending kindness and thoughtfulness xxx

Our dear friend and colleague, Mandy. We have such happy memories xx

Great memories of a great colleague and a generous personality during my time at SOR. So sad to hear of Mandy's passing.

A dear colleague, a great ambassador for Barnardo's, someone who cared passionately for vulnerable children and a great support to me on the AAI training many years ago.

Quite simply a joy to be with, your smile will remain with me.

In memory of Mandy. I feel so lucky to have had you as my manager and friend for many years....I will miss you deeply and thank you for you support, friendship and compassion. Lindsay x

You will be sadly missed. Thank you for your help and advice for over 20 years.

Mandy interviewed me many moons ago and her humour and warmth stood out even then! I will miss her presence, humour and knowledge and I am sure in our team we will talk of and remember her often xx

Will be very much missed as a wonderful lady

It's so sad - Thank you for the fun and fond memories over many years at work Mandy and for your lovely positive influence x

Many warm memories of Mandy at Edinburgh University. Always willing to listen and ready to party!

In memory of my Aunt Mandy, a beautiful person who has left us way too soon. Xxx

Great warmth, integrity and professionalism which she used to transform the lives of so many.

We have treasured memories of the warmth and practical support Mandy gave us during some difficult times. Mandy's genuine nature and desire to help was invaluable. She will be very sadly missed xxx

I knew Mandy many many years before I joined Barnardo's and to me her name was always synonymous with integrity, passion for children and fun. Working with her only cemented those feelings.

I have known Mandy a very long time in fact since she started work with Barnardos She was a very lovely person and very fair too. She will be very sadly missed I just hope her memory still goes on

In memory of Mandy whose care, compassion and humour helped us ,as carers, many times. We will always remember her fondly.

To Mandy, a very dear colleague and friend-farewell x

We joined Barnardos around the same time.I respected your commitment, concern and the quality of relationship you had with young people and colleagues. You made a huge difference to many lives.

Such a sad loss when such a lovely person leaves us. Thanks for being a great and supportive manager to work for.

You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and although we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Diane & Family.

"Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don't drink their own water. Trees don't eat their own fruit. Sun doesn't give heat for itself. Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves. Living for others is the Rule of Nature." Thank you for giving so much Mandy X

In memory of Mandy who loved life and was a joy to work with

Such a sense of loss without you, to have lived a life that mattered to so many is more lasting + precious than words can express- with integrity, love and generosity making the world a better place

Farewell to a much admired and respected Barnardos colleague - you will be very much missed. The world is a poorer place without you.

Much loved and forever in our hearts x
