It was not a shock because she had been in hospital for two weeks and we were told on Friday morning that she probably only had hours to go, she was also 95.
The reason that I am posting this at all is because I want to thank her and my late dad (he died 8 years ago next month) for introducing me to ITFC.
I might have discovered ITFC anyway but it helped having club supporting parents.
They first took me when I was aged 3 or 4, it could have been either but my first memory of football (and probably anything else) puts it at that time.
I know I was at PR on 22nd March 1958 with my dad because that was when my sister was born and the midwife wanted me and dad out of the way.
I have memories of F.A. Cup games against Luton and Peterborough in 1959 and 1960 and the opening of the floodlights at PR in 1960 but most of my real ITFC memories start with 1961/62- but that is another story
Thanks mum (and dad) RIP |  | | |  |

I lost my Mum on Boxing Day aged 101. Even though they have had a good innings, it's still a hell of a miss. Condolences to you and your family. |  | | |

I am pleased that your parents are at a pretty good age and still healthy-although your mum is not a lot older than me!
My dad got into his 90's and, as you see, my mum got to 95 but I think that if you can look back and have no regrets about things that you have said and done regarding your parents then that is the best that you can hope for. |
Thanks. You're a star given the time you're going through. I really appreciate it. |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

RIP MRS PJH SR
Sorry to hear of your loss, but thanks to them for setting you on your ITFC following days, as those memories, along with your memory have given some incredible stories, none more so re-readable than your memories of Ipswich Town being the champions of England.
Thoughts with you. |
Thanks hoppy.
Yes as I said in my OP I might have 'discovered' ITFC anyway but I got off to a good start with two ITFC supporting parents. | | | |

Condolences to you and your family.
Another of the dwindling band of the Woodbridge regulars of the 50s and 60s gone .... can't be that many left now? |
No, as I think I told you before my dad was on the committee of the Woodbridge branch of ITFC Supporters Club but not likely to be all that many from that branch still around now. | | | |
