Here is a picture of our daughter Natasha Jay when she was around 16. The picture was sketched by Mr Riley at a 75th birthday party in Macclesfield , Cheshire in 2008 . The hosts were John and Pam Berry and the party was held at their farm in Bosley. John knew Mr Riley from his army days, we believe. John went over to Mr Riley and asked if he would sketch our daughter. It was the first time we had seen our daughter from a different perspective. Natasha is non verbal and we would always be face to face when communicating with her, using sign language .
We have cherished the sketch ever since and it hangs on our wall in the lounge.
