She stayed at home, 41 Menai St., Birkenhead, with Jack as her carer. N.B. Jack's sister, Hilda, lived nearby and was also very good to Annie. She had been in a wheel chair for a long time, then bed ridden for many years. She stayed at home on a small bed in the back living room so that she could look out of the window into the small back yard. There was a window box with a few flowers.
	Annie having a visit from her granddaughter, Erica, and Erica's husband John Marlow. Annie loved the colour red. Notice her hands. Poor Annie suffered for many years with chronic arthritis. When I saw her in hospital in 1985 her hands were like balls.
	My family & I went to visit Annie & Jack in 1985. Unfortunately Annie was in hospital then. We had an interesting time with Jack in their home. We (Warwick, Jane & Kate & myself) visited her in hospital. Her hearing and eyesight were very impaired. She died before we returned home in July,1985 Jack died a couple of years after Annie died. He was about 74.
