    Hi Abbey,

    A good friend of mine was named Laurance Gelmi, and I can not remember his wife’s name since. You remind me of his wife. Laurie passed away, I remember he had 2 boys and 1 girl, but cannot remember after all these years as I am 81 years old and have not had any contact for many years. We worked together at the Midland Railways when we were good friends. I have seen you on TV and I always think of Laurie because you remind me of his wife. If you are not related I wish you all the best.

    Best wishes,
    Colin and Kathy Kendall.
