David would like to thank all our friends who for the past 22 months supported us through Sandie’s illness. The calls, visits, and cards, really meant the world to us both. To all the marvellous Hospice staff, the driver volunteers, and all the carers, your kindness at difficult times made all the difference to us. To all the staff, doctors, and consultants in the Oncology Units at the General, and in Southampton, who strived to give Sandie and me more time together, my heartfelt thanks. To Betty and Albert for a phone call every day without fail, my thanks. Thank you to all who attended Sandie’s funeral led by Sandie’s ‘pal from Hospice’ the Reverend Debbie Godefroy, and to Nicola and Dave for their reminiscences and readings at such an emotional occasion. To Steve at Maillard’s who met all our requests with compassion and understanding, and helped make Sandie’s funeral such an appropriate celebration of her life. Finally, but most importantly, thank you to my darling Sandie, wife and mother for 42 years of love, life, fun and happiness. Sleep well babes, I love and miss you so much XX.
