  1. Farewell my friend…there are so many happy memories….so many laughs and so many lessons learned and taught. But the greatest gift you gave me….was that you taught me the true value of a hug…a hug given without restriction, full of love and strength.
    The greatest gift of all…..and you gave us so many we lost count. But each one more precious than the last…even in these last few months when I felt like you would break…you never hesitated in giving me a hug.
    Thanks for being you….and for looking after the heart of my friend forever, Yvonne….right from that first moment that you met.
    I love you and miss you…Dith xxx

  4. I often lay awake at night,
    While others are asleep,
    No one knows my sorrow,
    No one hears me weep,
    There are many times I need you,
    And many times I cry,
    If my love could have saved you,
    You would never have had to die,
    That something special that we shared,
    Is not my greatest treasure,
    The special love you gave to me,
    Is in my heart forever….

    I will love you forever my darling xx

  5. Thank you Opa for the times we shared,
    The love you gave and the way you cared,
    We treasure the times we had together,
    And wished they could have gone on forever,
    You have left a space no-one can fill,
    We will miss you Opa and always will.

    Forever in our hearts…..
    Crystal-Jade, Brian & Charlie xx

  7. Thanks for the memories, the laughs and life lessons.

    The best lesson you ever taught me was the value of a true hug….a hug given without hesitation and full of love.

    I received many of these hugs over the years and will miss them more than words can say.

    Even when you were bed-ridden and weak and I thought you might break….you still gave me my favourite John hug.

    I miss you more than I can ever express in mere words.

    I want to thank you for always taking such good care of Yvonne’s heart – your love for one another was a true treasure to behold.

    I love you always…..Dith xxx
