As the oldest you have been watching and worrying about me the longest, please don’t stop. I expect both of you come over and visit me. I’ll be waiting.

Dad you will always be in my heart. Everyday you showed how much you care. I will always treasure the way you never judged me or anyone else in the family. You always felt the need to take any pain away from all of us and for this I am truly grateful. This has given us strength to follow our paths in life.I believe you will continue to protect me from heaven. I wake at night and remember the times we sat together when I was a child reading the encyclopedia about spiders or frogs. You were tired from a hard days work but you still made the time. You are in our hearts and memories forever. I know you will be with Mum looking down on all of us...........

Niftie - as your "adopted daughter", and you, my second Dad. We shared many many happy times together over the last 25 years. I always enjoyed your fishing adventures that you shared with me - including the ones that got away. You will always be in my heart - and never forgotten............
