You welcomed me in to the family and the first thing you and Nan said to me was to look after William and I promised I always would. Everyone who knew you was lucky to have met you, no matter how brief the time was, and you’ve left a void in everyone’s life. I’ll miss you winding Will up about Vale and asking me if I’m keeping him in line. Most of all I’ll miss seeing you in your chair with your cup of tea and chippy tea. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and everything you have done for me. Rest in Peace. X
