In News Shopper, December 14, you covered the court case of Steven Vanner and it was only from this we learned both of his parents have life-threatening illnesses.
Until recently, the parents, Alan and Doreen, owned a newsagent and post office in Halfway Street, Sidcup.
They were very well liked and highly respected by their customers, because they are such a charming couple.
Personally, it has been my pleasure to have known them for more than 30 years.
Everyone is so sorry for the position they now find themselves in and send them their best wishes and love.
