Alma STOTT

Dear Bill, i’m very sad and sorry to learn that your wife passed away. I’m sending you all my condolences to you and your family. I will put a candle for her. Rest in peace. Courage gentleman during this hard time. Warmest regards. EJ.

Une bien triste nouvelle que d'apprendre le décès d'Alma, elle a été un modèle de combativité et de courage face à la maladie.
Nous sommes tellement contents d'avoir croisé sa route, merci pour tous les bons moments que nous avons passé ensemble, ce sont des souvenirs impérissables.
Nous garderons l'image du femme forte, bienveillante, accueillante et à l'humour sans égal.
De tout cœur avec toi Bill, nous te présentons nos plus sincères condoléances et nous t'assurons de toute notre compassion et de toute notre amitié.

I had the privilege of working alongside Alma in 1991, when she was the adult diabetes nurse specialist and I was the new children's diabetes nurse. Alma took me under her wing and guided me as I found my feet in the role. Our time together was not only filled with work, but also with laughter. Gary and I had the pleasure of getting to know Bill too and his sense of humor. Even after they moved to France, we stayed in touch through emails, sharing news and funny anecdotes. I particularly cherished the stories about Miguel. To use a phrase I remember from Bill - Alma was as sound as a pound

Hi Mum, it is with great sadness that I write this letter to you.
You were an inspiration to me, you taught me so many practical things when I was young. Although I'm not keen on painting, Your hand painting was fabulous, flower pictures on French post boxes, they were really good, and would brighten up anyone's doorway. I miss you very much, and have happy memories of our time together when I was growing up.
I Love you very much Mum, now and always,
Lots of love Ant. Xxxxx

Alma, mon amie, ma chère amie... Si vite partie et pourtant là encore, et pour toujours dans mon cœur. Merci pour ton amitié. J'ai eu tellement de chance de croiser ta route.

Alma, my friend, my dear friend... Gone so soon et yet still here, and for ever in my heart. Thank you for your friendship. I was so lucky to cross paths with you.

Intelligent, practical, artistic and full of joy. We will always remember Alma with a smile for the good times and the great pleasure of her company.
Alma was a font of knowledge and sensible thinking. She had the resourcefulness, a thirst for knowledge and an interest in others that made her the interesting and compassionate lady that she was.
She loved the Creuse and took great pride in her house and garden, welcoming us always with a smile and the offer of a nice cup of tea (or beer if Bill was near).
We will miss her laugh, news of her latest project, and her bonhomie.

Rest well Alma. You have a lot to smile about as you look down.

We were so very saddened to hear that alma has passed away. I met Alma and Bill through my parents, Christine and Ray lavall. They moved to France to a village called issoudun letrieix and spent twelve happy years there, when I visited my parents, we would go for the fish and chips and a drink and then pop by for a coffee and a chat. She was always welcoming, a warm humorous very kind woman and I will remember her fondly. Rest in Paradise Alma. 💕Sending all our love to you bill x Mikhaila

We met Alma and Bill soon after moving to France 12 years ago. Alma was always very welcoming and would go out of her way to help. We enjoyed our fish and chip nights and also popping round for a coffee. She was a lovely lady and we will miss her.

Je suis attristée par le départ d’Alma.
Mes sincères condoléances à Bill et sa famille.
Bon courage dans cette épreuve.
