Hey Dad Its going to be the first Christmas without you physically here with us, which is going to be so hard; But, I know you are always in my memories and my heart, and will never be forgotten. You are still being marked in our celebrations: robins on the tree, robins on our Christmas cakes and im sure a glass or two of Cabalie raised in your memory! I miss you every day and will come to spend some time with you in the woodland when I can. Sending all my love. XxxxxX

To my amazing Dad... You were inspirational, kind and full of love and compassion for so many people, that much is clear to see by reading all the comments your friends and colleagues have written, but to me you were all of those things and more. You were the person who taught me how to repair things, along with many other practical life skills. The one who hugged me and took the pain and worries of life away regardless of how old I was. The one who would always support me and who loved me unconditionally even when I was being challenging. The one who had patience with me and would always try to encourage me to achieve more. The person I understood and who understood me. You were truely a kind and gentle man, who I love so much and miss today and always. I wont ever stop talking to you and hope you are still somewhere watching over and guiding me. Love you Dad. R xxxx
