The family planted a memorial tree in Bolderwood in the New Forest in Hampshire on the first anniversary of Lisa’s tragic accident. The tree, an English Oak, should live for 100-200 years. Next to the tree is a memorial bench overlooking the deer hide at Bolderwood. Another tree will be planted nearby shortly in memory of Lisa’s nan who passed away in February. Friends are invited to visit the tree at Bolderwood where the walks are open to the public at all times.
At last year’s boat show we ordered a new boat that was launched on what would have been Lisa’s 24th birthday on 15th March 2003. The new boat, a 28foot long Cranchi, was named after Lisa. ‘Lisa The Daddy’ is berthed at Hythe and every minute spent on her helps keep us closer to Lisa.
We regret to inform you that Lisa’s Nan Mary Wilson passed away on Tuesday 18th February. Mary had been suffering with a poorly stomach and died peacefully in the night at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. All of the family are devastated following this unexpected tragedy. Mary and Lisa are now re-united in God’s safe hands. Mary’s husband Peter asked that donations be made to Lisa’s fund, to date over £400 has been raised. Thank you all.
