Dear Jason,
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Aunt Nesta. I have fond memories of your mum especially when it came to her entertaining and cooking. She will be sadly missed.
Condolences to Jason, Nichola & family on the very sad loss of ‘Our Nesta’ many happy memories of Wanderers dinner parties and some Welsh Society events where your mum was able to proudly show her Welsh heritage.
Having not seen you for so long Jason I was amazed to see you have morphed into your father god rest his soul just remember not to drive on to the cricket pitch!
Would have loved to join you at the beach bar but covid gets in the way of everything nowadays.
Will raise a glass in your mum’s memory and hope maybe one day to catch up with you all.
God bless

Jason - Sorry can't be with you at Coral Ridge but will be thinking of you. Sincere condolences to you and your family. Will miss Nesta. She was such a feisty lady, always ready with a mischievous quip, but great fun.

Sorry to hear of Nesta's passing. We always enjoyed visiting her so much. She was a great hostess and made great meals. I will try to participate on line on Friday.

Dear Jason, Nichola and the boys - We were so saddened to hear of Nesta's passing. Although we only lived in Barbados for 3 years, Nesta quickly became our Bajan godmother. She was like family to us. She was so caring, snarky funny and most importantly to me, embraced our family with love and affection. She loved children and was always ready with lots of hugs and snuggles, especially for our son, Mitch, when he'd had a hard day (and there were a lot). I can still hear her laugh, she was always game for a bit of mischief 😉 Nesta will remain forever in our hearts. Our deepest condolences . . .

Dear Jason - so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. We had some lovely times with all of you over the years. She was very hospitable and welcomed us all. Sadly, it has been 30+ years since I visited Barbados.
All the best, Jane & Family.
