Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel for all the family, may you take comfort in knowing that someone so special to you all will never be forgotten and you hold dear the memories and reminders of happy times xx

Dear Anne Marie, Karen, Angela, and Julie, Mum has told me of the passing of your Dad. Mum, Dad, Vicky, Lynda and I send our deepest sympathies, as cousins we have lost contact but never the less it's times like these that we would like you to know, we are thinking of you all, and the family tie is still there. Our Mum often talks of your Mum and you girls, and it's a shame it takes times like these to remind us how precious life and family are to us all. Time and tide wait for no one but age does show us the true priorities in life, God bless you all, and may we meet again, sooner rather than later. Kind Regards Jason

Sending our love today, sorry we couldn’t be here.
Just wanted to share a couple of special memories that I had with my grandad.
- Grandad always did my homework so I could go and play with my friends (legend).
- we would get up in the middle of the night to watch the World Cup together and I would make cheese rolls for us to eat.
- loved listening to all his stories about when he was in the army.
Rest In Peace grandad, love you always.
