To my beloved father,

Thinking of all our great family times together, and for the amazing love, care and guidance you have shown all your life to me and all those who you have come into contact with and helped over the years. We shall miss your wise words and common sense reflections on life, and all your persistent offers of help over the years!

We love and respect you so much and will miss you terribly. We are so grateful to have called you Dad, Grandad and father-in-law. Reunited at last with my beautiful and much-loved and missed sister Helen.

All our love from Sean, Marianne, Rosie and Grant xxxx.

If we have forgotten to show our gratitude for all the things you did, we’re thanking you now and are hoping that you knew all along how much you meant to all of us.

Your heartbroken daughter Rosemary and Nigel, grandson Mark and Sophie, and great-granddaughters Summer and Ellie X.
