Hi again it’s been a while since I last spoke with you Dad, although I think of yourself, Mum & Margaret every day, I just want to let you know that I have been in hospital having had Multiple Heart Attacks in twice since last speaking but Dad I am super ok & you do know that as I feel your presence about me along with Mum & my Sister. I am still donating to Cancer research to stop another family going through what your daughter & I have since losing you.

17 Years Gone From Our Lives Dad When I was little, you always knew Everything. As I grew, you showed me Everything. Little by little, you gave me Everything. What you've been to me is Everything. You walked ahead, always. You walked in strength and kindness. You walked in love that shone with warmth. Now I walk alone, but I feel you with me. We Love You So Much For Being The Dad, You Will Always Be, Superior! Helena, Jim & Our Family xxxxx
