My beloved Auntie Kathy, with the pearl in the shell. It's so hard to contemplate the world without you in it. Thank you for always having a welcome and a smile and a hug for me. My whole life, you have made me feel loved and accepted, just as I am, unconditionally. What more could anyone ask for in an auntie? You were the life and soul - the loudest, most opinionated voice in the room - and I will miss your energy and enthusiasm for your family, politics, music, travel, history, your pals, your neighbours, your garden, Man Utd, cricket, and of course: Hull FC. But I will also miss our quiet talks, just us two, because they meant a lot to me - you really properly listened and always had something wise and reassuring to say. Thank you for so many fun memories of rugby games and concerts and family parties. Thank you for coming to my gigs and supporting me. Thanks for being a good friend to my mum. I am heartbroken that I won't see you again. But I also know (because you said) that all you wanted for me, was for me to be happy. So I will be. Love you forever. Frances xxxxxx
