HERRIDGE Gina. Died 02.03.2023 Yeovil, Somerset. A tribute from your older sister Cherie Chopping. Gina, my darling, my light…beyond the earthly chatter, beyond the moon and the stars I try to reach my secret sister…. Never beating the same drum… you with your physical confidence rock climbing and motor bikes, me with my love of horses and nature. Yet through the web of differing life paths…. a soft sisterly purr remained. Just 10 months age apart…almost twins - we shared bedrooms until adolescence…. even toilet cubicles…we shared rude messages on the back seat of the car about our parents, sang duets on the dusty school bus and celebrated each others achievements. I did not know that Thursday you passed - why I walked all day as a lost soul…feeling wretched and restless…one week later a small post card on the door mat from your husband Peter gave my answer. Well done for your life Gina, well done for surrounding your passing with the love of your children and Peter. Thank you for our sisterly journey, our shared growing up into womanhood, for your caring vet expertise…. for our early morning horse rides on our farm; Anna-Dale, (thank you Dad for your farming heritage), for the hectic Highland pony treks, for our singing, running, dancing, moonlight swims and study times together. My love for you is unfaltering and I thank you for being my sister. Tenderly, eternally your older sister Cherie xx
