Message received from Richard Lebus:

My mother, Mrs Barbara Lebus, died peacefully on 20 March 2014 aged 94. Her first name was Barbara but she was always know as Bunty.

My Father was Anthony Lebus. He died on 4 September 1984. He was born on 21 March 1914 so 21 March 2014, the day after my Mother died, would have been his 100th birthday.

My Mother had a long and fulfilling life and we have many fond memories of her. Her funeral will be next Monday 31 March 2014 at Mortlake Crematorium, Richmond TW9 4EN.
