Mum told me that you would spend a lot of time with me when I was small, once saying you wished you had a little sister. Well Dave, I always wished you was my big brother, felt closer than first cousins once removed!

Thank you for taking some time to teach me a bit of piano, allbeit Chopsticks hahaha, we laughed so much, i will always remember it, no-one else had the time.

If I missed waving at you on Sunday mornings when the band would pass my house I would be upset all day.

Being alone in my generation I was a young teenager watching you all get your first homes. Loved visiting you all but was told not to bother people so had to stop seeing P and E, L and J and going to yours on Beacon Hill. Thats when i started to realise our family wasn't as close as I'd been led to believe.

Most of all a massive THANK YOU for your support and kindness when my late husband was succumbing to C. Your humour and love were very much needed, your big cuddles were real and invaluable. It meant so much to us as we only had one other form of support when it was greatly needed. Thank you.

I really wanted to be there to say goodbye. it feels like an excuse (hate being like this) but i know you would understand the medical  card I carry about being out alone, well i was alone. Considered hiring a driver for a few hours, forgive me, I cried at home for you during your funeral.

So proud of you. Will always miss you. Bless your beautiful soul.

Penny, thinking about those few seconds when you first wake, before the nightmare of reality sinks in, he will be watching over you through the day then with you in your dreams.
