Whenever I think of Auntie Merelyn, I think of laughter and fun. She invariably arrived at the many 'Knight Gatherings' with a delicious home-made trifle in her hands. I was always pleased to see her as she was upbeat and happy, and made everyone feel at ease. I have many happy memories of these family gatherings; of playing with cousins while the grown-ups shared humorous anecdotes in the kitchen. To this day, I still joke about 'the Knight wheeze' which I swear is a certain type of laughter that many family members seem to share, Auntie Merelyn included! I loved spending time in Uncle David and Auntie Merelyn's home in Callington – the Soda Stream was much coveted by Paul, Mark and I as kids! My parents like to remind me that Dave and Merelyn liked to choose 'quirky' presents for us children, which were great fun for us but not so much for my mum and dad who had to endure pump action water pistols and drums for example! Another memory I have is of going to a firework display with Uncle David, Auntie Merelyn, Melissa and Jo. Auntie Merelyn remarked on how everyone always made the same noises whilst watching fireworks - 'oooooooh' and 'aaaaaaaah'. We then spent most of that display making the same noises and laughing, and I still think of that every time I watch fireworks to this day. Auntie Merelyn was always very welcoming and made sure we had plenty of refreshments to hand. This continued through to my adulthood, when Paul (hubby) and I stayed overnight in Callington on route to Exeter airport and were made to feel very welcome indeed. We will all miss you lovely Auntie Merelyn and remember you with great fondness and love. Until we meet again at the great family reunion in the sky!! All my love, Suzie (and Paul and Kirsten) xxx
