The pride of her husband Richard Bennett's eyes, the mother every child yearns for and the daughter every parent dreams of - Angella Bennett had many more reasons, besides her birthday, to celebrate on Wednesday.

Happy memories

"A source of so much happiness, you epitomise a part of so many happy memories. There are people who bring happiness to others day-by-day and you're just that kind of person, extra special in every way," declared her best friend, Cathay McDonald, in a card.

Her other friend, Sophia Swaby, said, "thanks for making me a very lucky person".
