Heartfelt messages have been paid to 26 much-loved Plymouth people in the latest funeral and death notices this week. Tributes have been paid to much-loved family members and those who have tragically had their lives cut short.
The notices include tributes and funeral details for Plymouth man David Kelly, who died of ‘multiple injuries’ after a collision with a car. Plymouth businessman Luke Dann will stand trial later this year for the alleged urder of the 42-year-old, which he denies.
In total 22 death notices were placed into the funeral notices section of PlymouthLive’s sister title, The Herald, for those people who either lived in the city, or had links to it and have died recently.
The messages, placed between June 3 to June 9 provide comfort to the loved ones of those either lost or being celebrated. There were also four in memoriam messages for loved ones no longer with us.
Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements. Every notice published to our newspaper and news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk – the UK’s number one site for death notices and memoriams. Every notice remains online forever providing friends and families with a lifelong tribute to their loved one, a safe place online to share memories, add tributes, photographs and make donations in memory.
