| History of Artefact | ‘The card was presented to my father when my mother was between the age of fifteen and twenty.’ The words showed restraint, she was eight years younger than the man she was ‘walking out with’. |
| Historian | Catherine Smith |
| Previous Owners | Sybil Delia Everett (mother), James Mark Parsons (father). |
| Special Memories | ‘My mother was fifteen, and an only child. My grandparents were very trusting to allow them to see each other. It was a message to her first and only love. They were together for fifty-two years. My father was Welsh and worked on the railways. He started off as a signaller, then worked in the shunting yard. He worked at Swindon station. This object shows that deep down he was a sentimental man. It showed how much he cared and loved inside. He would talk about my mother everyday after she died, even on the day he died.’ |
