    I miss you so much, growing up in your family has been so much fun. We’ve had some wonderful times and you, Mum & the girls have always been a constant in my life for which I am so grateful. Thank you for always being there and for all the love and support you have given me over the, pretty much, 55 years. I hope they have endless amounts of Maltesers and Bombay Potatoes (my receipe!) in Heaven. Until we meet again Dad “D”, Love always, Daughter No.4, Jan xxx

    Dear ‘Uncle’ Dennis,
    I considered you and Aunty Jane my Aunty and Uncle for all my life even though we were not blood related.
    I enjoyed our visits to you and the Girls with my Mum and Dad so much. You made us feel so welcome. And made delicious Indian food.
    You will be truely missed.
    You can now chat again with my Dad…
    The Girls will most certainly take care of Aunty Jane.
    Lots of love,
