Congratulations
Many congratulations to Alex and Susan Booth on their recent marriage – September 10. It comes on the back of a long year of Alex battling – and beating – cancer. He got to ring the bell a week before the wedding. Sadly, two weeks after the wedding Alex lost his father suddenly. "We have the wedding photos for happy memories," said Susan.
