Guestbook

  1. Our deepest sympathy to Ruth and the extended Fleming family. Stephen was a valued member of the Selwyn Prostate Cancer Support Group and also the Lincoln ProstFit Exercise Group.

  2. My deepest sympathies to Ruth and family for the loss of Stephen, he was my neighbour at Lowther St for two decades, a lovely man always cheerful with a good sense of humour. Unfortunately I only found out about he passing and funeral details on the Tuesday after his funeral so couldn’t attend but you are all in my thoughts. Rest in peace Stephen RIP.
