My darling Paul, together since teenagers we weathered the storms that life threw at us, only making our love for each other stronger. You were so proud of our children, Steve and Jo, and worked so hard to give them a wonderful childhood, standing at a wet and windy Sorel watching Steve at motocross and then the next week on hand for studding and pony-holding duties for Jo. You were so strong throughout your illness, always believing you were going to get better and worrying about how we were coping, never any thought for yourself. I will miss you so much and will never forget you. You will live on through Steve and Jo and our three beautiful grandchildren, Molly, Joel and Elsie. Sleep tight my darling, I will love you forever.

Your loving wife, Jenny.

Dad, we are devastated to have lost you, you were everything to us. You worked so hard to provide for us and kept us grounded so we remembered that family was the most important thing. We spent so much time together and you never complained that every weekend (and most of your hard earned money!) was taken up by our hobbies. For this we could never thank you enough. Life will never be the same without you, Dad, and we will miss you more than words can ever describe. The best Dad to us and most loving Grandad to our children. All our love, forever and always.

Stevie, Jamie-Lea and Joel, Jo Jo, Tom, Molly and Elsie xxx.
