My grandparents James and Mary Fry (Prictured here at their 50th Wedding Anniversary), were a massive force for good in our (me and my siblings) upbringing.
My Grandfather a Liverpudlian of welsh/Bristol ancestry, and Gran (of Irish/ Lancastrian roots) came to Prestatyn in 1941 after heavy bombing of the docks and Everton.
To her grandchildren she was a matriarchial glue that kept the family together, affable,big hearted,strong, slightly neurotic and a natural storyteller, she filled our childhoods with laughter and security.
Grandad, a quieter force, remained firmly and happily in her shadow.
They died in the early 1980s and are buried at Coed Bell Cemetry which overlooks the Wirral and Liverpool beyond.
