In memory of Andy Taylor
Gentle of heart and steady of hand,
Andy was the kind of man you were glad to know.
With his long beard, love of motorbikes, and soft spot for greyhounds,
he made the everyday feel like home.
He and Lou met at Spanish classes—an unexpected beginning
to a life filled with warmth, laughter, muddy boots,
real ale pubs, horses, dogs, and love that ran deep.
They travelled far and wide together, including to the edge of the Sahara,
where Andy proposed atop a golden sand dune
with an eternity ring and a tiny bottle of champagne.
He had a dry, gentle humour, a passion for cooking a good curry,and a gift for friendship that drew people in.
Beloved by many, anchored in kindness,
Andy will be deeply missed,
but never far from the thoughts of those who called him a mate.
With our love, Ellie & Jayna x
Jayne
