SAYING GOODBYE TO OUR LOVELY FRIEND MARA COTTRELL

Many friends and family gathered at Herongate Wood Cemetery yesterday to say farewell to our lovely Mara, a girl of so many attributes.  A professional writer, professional cook, member of so many local clubs and societies; particularly of Brentwood Writers' Circle,The Society of Women Writers & Journalists and Billericay Readers' group.   

Mara was such a friendly person, well known in our town of Billericay and always full of fun with a great sense of humour.  Here are a few pictures I've taken of her over the last few years when she joined us in some of our ventures, particularly our many years with Phoenix 98fm radio studio in Brentwood. Here she is with our favourite presenter Michelle Ward a year or so ago. We will miss her!
