Sleep tight Beautiful Isobel, Love Tara & the Ivey Family xxxxxx

In loving memory of Isobel, a truly special person whose kindness and warmth will never be forgotten and who will remain forever in our hearts. We miss you dearly.

We will always remember how, when we first moved in as neighbours, she was the first to welcome us, offering guidance and support in what felt like a new and unfamiliar world. She never forgot to ask about us—especially the children—and always made us feel cared for. We felt comforted knowing we had someone like her and her family beside us.

We are truly grateful and feel so lucky to have such wonderful neighbours.

Isobel you was one lovely lady very glamorous and always looked smartly dressed it was lovely knowing you and will be sadly missed god bless you
Love Valerie, Leanne Laura &family xx

Oh Iz, you’d be laughing at me now. I wrote my message to you on the donation, so it’s not showing here!! I’ll start over ;)

From the first time I met you I thought you were so glamorous, very pretty eyes, perfect make up and not a hair out of place! You were such a character and your Scottish accent just added to the charm ❤️
We have some really fond memories of the time we spent with you and Ern over the years. You were a great couple.
I will always remember our little Christmas market trip, you, Mum, me and Erica.
It was like we had two naughty girls with us, especially when we lost you two - me and Erica were going round the markets in the rain and we finally found you two, tucked up on a corner table in a little pub, keeping warm, “sod walking about in the cold” while we had got soaked.
Loved our Christmas celebrations together, you always made a point of letting us know we had put on a lovely spread - you loved that.
I loved your wicked sense of humour too - always with a cheeky little wink.
Know you will be so happy to be back with Ern 💙 but I sure will miss you Iz.
Our love, always xxxx

I’ve been thinking a lot about Izzy and the many memories we shared over the years.
When we bought our house 25 years ago, Izzy and Ernie were among the first people we met. They made us feel so welcome straight away truly the loveliest neighbours anyone could ask for. Izzy watched my three children grow up, always with kindness and warmth.
One memory that has always stayed with me was a snowy day when she knocked on the door and offered to look after my youngest so I didn’t have to take them out in the cold for the school run. It was such a simple gesture, but it meant so much, and it says everything about the kind of person she was.
There were so many happy times too street parties, Christmas gatherings, and plenty of laughter. I remember sitting in Izzy’s house with a glass of rosé, chatting away, suddenly realising just how loud it must be in our house when I could hear my kids shouting from home! But Izzy would always smile and say, “Oh no, we don’t hear you!”
We will miss Izzy her presence, her kindness, and the warmth she brought to our lives. But there is comfort in knowing she is reunited with her Ernie now.
Sending love and thoughts to all who knew her 🤍

The Emergency £5.00 - that was one of Isobel’s life hacks that I will never forget.. She always used to say keep that emergency £5.00 in your shoe as you never know when you might need it. And just incase keep another in your bra. She was some woman and I am so proud to call her my Auntie Isobel. Always full of love, glamour and Glasgow. Let the Whispering Angel’s be forever filling your glass. Together again with Ern xxxx

We always remember on one of our visits that Isobel showed us her personal parking cone and anytime we came down to Romford from Glasgow we’d ask if she still had it and she would show us it and I’m sure she used it on the day of Ernies funeral.
Only a woman born in Glasgow would have her own traffic cone for outside her home in London and I know she loved that statue in Glasgow of the Duke of Wellington on his horse because the students would always put a cone on his head and she had her picture taken with Erica at it with our daughter Victoria and our niece Carmyn. It was therefore very fitting that she had her own traffic cone and it is a great memory we have of a great woman.

Iz, it was a real pleasure knowing you for many years. Your character made me laugh when I shouldn’t have laughed, your personality shone through above everyone else. This is what made you unique.
I enjoyed all the laughs and bottles of wine we shared sitting in the garden when the girls were growing up and putting the world to rights.
You were a glamorous beautiful soul and will be truly missed by your family and friends. Hope you are having a ball with Erm. Sleep peacefully my friend and god bless you xxxx

I met ‘Nanny Belle’ when I was two years old. I am grateful to have memories with such a strong, funny, inspirational lady, even in her last moments. Iz I am so lucky to have had you as part of my life. Thank you for all the theatre trips and Macdonalds, for the laughs and the telling offs. I will always have part of you in Callie. Love you, sleep peacefully 🤍

I am going to miss you terribly Izz. Your absence is already strongly felt. They say there's only two things guaranteed in life... I disagree, because the third was always you asking me if I wanted feeding or watering with a nice cuppa once I'd arrived home from work. The norm would then be a follow up from you of "so I have this issue with my phone". I think you looked at me as your personal IT assistant. I was okay with that. Adding to your kindness of feeding me, I just have to touch on that one night you made me what tasted like a wonderful curry. Unfortunately, the night on the toilet to come was not the most fun experience I've ever had. Although you didn't always enjoy my dress sense around the house, I hope to make you proud on the 6th of May in my suit. God bless you Izz, I hope you are now at peace x

My dearest nan who always loved me and cared for me. You will be forever in my heart and our memories are always cherished. You had a big heart which you always shared with others and I love you and miss you with all my heart x

Me and you always preferred when the noisy lot were in the front room and we used to sit at the top end of the garden, and we would compete with who had the bigger work ethic. It will now be just me looking to the ceiling when the games come out, I did use you as a decoy for saying no, as I know you used me as the decoy to moan about the lights being left on. Chats about politics, living in Romford and what's the best aftershave will never be the same. Both of us always had the best interests of the girls at heart x

Mum, some of my favourite memories will always be our girly trips to Morocco and Dubai, just us, causing chaos, getting lost, and laughing the whole way through it. Mum never missed a moment to enjoy herself, especially if there was a glass of rose involved (which was basically always). I'm convinced she packed it as an essential. I'll miss those laughs, those trips and you more than words can say. Life won't be the same without her, but I'll be raising a glass of rose for her wherever I go xx

Nan, words can't describe how missed you already are. You have left a hole that will never, ever be filled. I find comfort in the memories I hold dear of you laughing with a glass of wine in hand, telling one of your elaborate, funny stories or sharing your controversial opinions. These past few months have been hard, but you still managed to crack a joke or a smile and I cannot tell you how much I admire your ability to lighten a dark time. I love you more than I can put into words. Give pops a kiss from me and tell him that I will do everything I can to make the two of you proud. All my love, Cal xx
