She\u2019d been ill for a long time and couldn\u2019t eat a lot of foods.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;She started having them two years ago. She\u2019d have to have one every night at 9pm. She loved the flavour and didn\u2019t eat any of the others.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;We even put a couple in the coffin with her because we couldn\u2019t let her go without her Pot Noodles.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nThe quirky tribute extended to the order of service, which featured an image of her favourite meal and was coloured bright red to match the iconic packaging, and loved ones received a Pot Noodle to take home as a keepsake.<BR><br \/>\nOne attendee said: &#8220;It was a brilliant send off. You did an awesome job. It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of it!&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nAnd another added: &#8220;I haven\u2019t had this flavour in years. I\u2019ll have one in memory of Sandra. RIP.
