Still can't believe you've left us Dad, the rock of our family - the memories we've made are locked tight in my heart. What an amazing life you made for all of us, thank you so very much. I promise we will look after Mum in your absence. There is a huge hole in our family without you, just hope you left knowing how much we ALL loved you. Julie & Tony x x x
