Today we received a very kind letter from Joe Bury of Chorley, Lancashire, sadly informing us that his wife Anne Colette Bury had died on the morning Christmas Eve 2009.

A number of donations were made in the memory of Anne Colette, not only to the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team, but also to Derian House Children’s Hospice and the Friends of Uganda Group at St. Mary’s Church, Chorley.

In total, donations of £90.00 were made in the memory of Anne Colette to the team.

In October 2006 (incident 124/2006), we were called to the house of Joe and his wife Anne Colette, to render the team’s assistance to NWAS (Lancashire) who were treating John Paul Joyce, the son of Anne and stepson of Joe.

Sadly, John Paul Joyce died in 2008, with a collection being made in his memory to the team.

The team’s condolences are expressed to Joe Bury over the loss of wife Anne Colette, sadly so close to the loss of his stepson John Paul Joyce.
