Obituaries

IF YOU have lost a close friend, colleague or family member and would like to pay tribute to them in the Observer, please contact our newsdesk on 354321 or email rochdaleobserver@gmwn.co.uk. Tribute reports in the Observer are free of charge and are separate from the Family Notices service in our classified section but you can also ask your funeral director for a form to fill in and return to us. We are also happy to include a photograph of your loved one with the tribute report. Classified death notices, acknowledgments and in memoriams appear in our Family Notices section where you can leave your messages and create your own 'moving tributes' to your loved ones  - go to www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk/community/family_notices/
