Such sad news today.
I’d like to pay my respects to the incredible Mrs Cross, and am thinking and sending love to all her family and friends.
Mrs Cross was always so supportive of my musical journey, from my earliest days starting the harp as a teenager at Torquay Girls Grammar school.
She was one of a kind and a true inspiration. Thank you, Mrs Cross. Rest in peace. Xxx
