born he wanted to leave the forces so he invented a story about being colour-blind in order to obtain a medical discharge. He then had several years as a travelling salesman for Ever Ready and Lyons Maid Ice Cream. The family came to Halesworth in 1957 moving into a Council house at 5 Oak Green. He obtained employment at Sizewell power station and rented a shop in Chediston Street from where he sold antiques before moving to Station Road.

When the train reached Saxmundham the children were transferred to coaches and delivered to surrounding villages. Joyce had the good fortune to be taken to the home of Goldie and Jessie Ellis in Wenhaston and the next day Geoffrey Goddard was sent by the headmaster to all the homes on Blackheath where there were young children to inform the parents that the school would not be opening. When he arrived at the Ellis's home he was introduced to
MANY
described Bernard as a caring and loving husband who had given up a promising career to be with his wife and children. He was the joker with
a
twinkle in his eye and the child who rather stretched the truth sometimes. He appeared with a punt gun on the Antiques Road Show when it visited Heveningham Hall and he would have found it funny that his funeral was on his birthday. His last months were frustrating for him, impatient with the limitations his illness placed on him, and worried about who would care for his wife.
Family mourners were his
wife Mrs Doreen Mills, Mr I Mills, Mr & Mrs K Mills (sons), Mr & Mrs D Wint (daughter), Mr & Mrs P Mills (brother). He leaves three children, seven grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. here was a beautiful fl oral tribute from the family and the Commendation and Farewell and The Blessing were given in the Church and cremation took place at Waveney Park Crematorium. Donations in memory of Bernard are invited and are for Macmillan Cancer Support and Halesworth in Bloom and can be made direct to these charities.

Joyce and after that the couple were seldom apart. By 1940 the area was no longer considered a safe place for evacuees but oyce defi ed the ast Coast re evacuation plan and remained with the Ellis family staying at school until she was 18. Geoffrey and Joyce both went to college and became teachers but Geoff had to do National Service and spent two years in the RAF after which they briefl y returned to Wenhaston in 1948 to be married in St Peter's Church. During a holiday in Wenhaston in the late 60's they bought the middle cottage beside the church, and quite unexpectedly made it their permanent home in 1971 when Geoffrey was education offi cer at ollesley Bay Borstal. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and a faithful steward of St Peter's church being secretary of the PCC for many years. Pie Jesu from Faure's Requiem was exquisitely sung by Ruth Alder and a Bible Reading from St John 14 verses 1-6 was given by Mark Goddard (grandson). “A Final Offering” by Rabinranath Tagore was read by Alistair

MRS MAI PLEWIS friends, including
bowlers, bridge players and neighbours, joined the family at Waveney Park Crematorium on September 20th at a service of Mourning and Celebration for Mrs Mai Plewis of Reydon who died peacefully in Priory Paddocks Nursing Home, Darsham on September 5th aged 99. Entry music was Dance of the Little Swans from Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, and the service was conducted
by Mai's
daughter Mary who welcomed everyone. In a tribute to his mother Mai's son Ian said that she was born in Bicker, Lincolnshire and had suffered more than her share of sadness in her childhood. Her baby brother had died in infancy when she was just seven years old and later a terrible accident in their village killed her aunt and a baby sister as well as a much loved young woman who helped in the family shop. Mai had the strength to move from the family home to London when she was 17 and it was this independence of spirit that characterised her life. She joined the ATS after WW2 broke out and met her late husband Frank who she married in 1946. They built a life together and bought a house in Bexleyheath and from there they moved to Ramsgate and nfi eld where she went back to work, fi rst for the London County Council's Children's Department and then in the education service, culminating in becoming school secretary at Kynaston School. They moved to the bungalow at Lakeside in Reydon in their retirement and created a beautiful garden there. They both played bowls and joined the Sole Bay
Laing (grandson). In her address the Reverend
Alison Alder said that Joyce was a person who quietly got on with things and her many years of service to the church were a clear example. Her Christian faith was not one limited to her regular worship at St Peter's but one that looked outwards to the world. The Revd Alder was joined by argaret loomfi eld in the offering of prayers.
Family mourners were: Mr & Mrs Ian Goddard (son), Mr & Mrs Brian Laing (daughter), Mark and James Goddard and Alistair & Jonathan Laing (grandsons) also representing Joshua, Olivia and

Club and Southwold bridge clubs, becoming very popular members. After Frank died in 2000 her independent spirit and stoicism kept her going, and she donated a trophy in memory of Frank (the Plewis Cup) to the Indoor bowls club to be competed for annually. She was very loving, kind and generous and very attached to her family which grew from generation to generation – from mother to grandmother to great grandmother.
Her two grand-daughters Helen and Harriet sang I'd Do Anything (from Oliver!) and Some Enchanted Evening from South acifi c and they and Mary's children by marriage, Ian and Isobel, paid tributes. The poem I Know by Else Lasker-Schuler was read by Ian's partner Ann Adler. The
hymn Lord of all Hopefulness accompanied by Brentwood Cathedral Choir was sung, and a recorded rendering of Dove Sono from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, by Kiri Te Kanawa was played. here was a beautiful fl oral arrangement from the family which included many blooms from Mai's garden.
After
farewells to Mai were given by Mary the service ended with Percy Grainger's English Country Garden. Family and friends enjoyed a convivial few hours afterwards in the garden she cared for and cherished so much. Donations in memory of Mai are invited and should be sent to Macmillan Cancer Support and the Alzheimer's Society marked in memory of Mrs E M Plewis.
