It is with a heavy heart that I share some sad news with our group. Lee Shaw’s dear mother has passed away.
​During this incredibly difficult time, please keep Lee and their entire family in your thoughts and hearts. We grieve alongside them in their loss, and we want to surround them with as much comfort, love, and support as possible.
​If you would like to reach out to Lee directly to offer your condolences, please feel free to do so, while also respecting their need for space and privacy as they navigate this deep grief.
​We will share any further details regarding the service and any wake or ways we can practically support the family as soon as they become available.
​With sympathy and warmth from GMB Tameside branch.
