Mr Harding (because it always seemed odd to call you Kerry lol) possibly my fave ‘friend’s dad’! I will really miss but never forget... the huge trademark bear hugs, the cheery “Beaaaaa!” whenever you saw me. The face that lit up with a huge beaming smile and the cheerfully loud voice. Such happy memories of visits to “Paddington Station” (Nun’s Acre of course) and the chaotic loveliness and welcoming nature of the buzzing Harding household. It is comforting to know that you’ll be looking down on us crazy folk from up there in heaven. Lots of love, Bea Xxx

When I think of you, Kerry, I think of your big hugs & your rumbling laugh. You were always so welcoming to us as Katie’s friends and wanted to know how we were & what we were up too. You and Maryann had a welcoming home which was always full of love & laughter, plus the many happy memories made in the river garden, of which you will have had so many more than I do. You will be missed but many happy memories remain behind you. Xx

Such a lovely kind, hearted soul, famous for his cuddles and kindness, a legacy many of us would be proud to be remembered for xxxx
