To our dearest brother-in-law Bob.

Our lives go on without you,

But nothing is the same,

We have to hide our heartache,

When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you,

Silent are the tears that fall,

Living without you is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us,

Your heart was so kind and true,

And when we needed someone,

We could always count on you.

The special years will not return,

When we are all together,

But with the love within our hearts,

You will walk with us forever.

With love from your brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and respective families.

My beautiful granddaughter Chloe Louise, taken away from us so tragically on Sunday, 8 March, 2020.

My heart has been broken with losing you so young at 27 years, you had such a wonderful personality, so special to everyone, and loved so so much. You had your whole life ahead of you with your gorgeous baby daughter Charly, but your illness took a hold and was too much for you to fight anymore to stay with us, so you closed your eyes and slipped away while I held your hand. No more pain, hurt or heartache will you suffer.

Sleep in peace now my darling girl, you have joined our Holly and are holding her hand now in the heaven of angels.

My two beautiful granddaughters together again, and no doubt having fun and laughter knowing you two. I will miss texting you every day Chloe, to see how you are, and spending time with each other. You were a big part of my life and there are no words that can express how I feel by losing you, and as I do Holly.

Mum and I will watch over Charly Bear for you Chloe, and try to guide her in life as you wanted for her.

Sweet dreams my beautiful girl, big hugs and kisses to you and Holly.

Your broken-hearted Nannie.

Love you so much.

A wonderful aunt who will be greatly missed.

Love Ann and Alan xx.
