 In the spring of 1998, the loss of his grandson, who was more than 70 years his junior, seemed to be a turning point in Bill's own life, after which he bravely made plans for his own departure from this world.   Walter Wiliam Cleaver died on the 14th August, after over 40 years of married life, and the thoughts of all who knew him are with Madeline and the rest of their family.
 '''MADELINE CLEAVER  died in 2009.'''   In her obituary Roland and Jeffrey wrote - - - -
 Madeline may have been “just a housewife”, but her occupations were far from just that.   She helped to raise funds for the new Village Hall, finally built in year 2000; for Bucks Association for the Blind she sorted through piles of jumble, often trawling antiques fairs with items she felt should raise more money; she raised awareness and money for research into Raynauds disease which so badly affected our father; she joined [[The Womens Institute]]; helped restart, run and sing in [[The Church Choir]], [[Lacey Green Productions]], and [[Lacey Green Singers]].    She found time to succeed in nominating her good friend Madeline Forrester for the MBE, in recognition of her work with the blind.   (put 'charity' into Search for similar people & events)
-'''UP WITH THE TIMES'''
+Madeline kept up a voluminous correspondence with friends and family all over the world.    She embraced modern technology and became an enthusiastic e-mailer as her disabilities increasingly confined her to home.    She appreciated the invaluable help of many of her neighbours, such as Freda Dormer, Mary Lawrence and Helen Titchen.     She refused to move from her home, friends and community, keeping her spirits buoyant and her wit sharp as she managed with her two sticks and a lot of dogged determination.{{Person
