Thanks: The family of Olive Paintin would like to thank all of her friends in the village: Community Church, Age Concern and dear neighbours for all the support and companionship they have given her over the seven years she has lived in Robertsbridge. Moving from Cornwall in her early eighties was quite a wrench but everyone has been so wonderful and she has enjoyed her final years living in your midst. We would like to send our condolences to Olive’s family at this sad time.
