Uncle, I still can’t believe I am writing this tribute because of your passing. Words cannot describe this difficult moment, but if I have to say goodbye I will do so with the knowledge that I consider myself blessed to have lived this life as your niece. You touched so many peoples lives with your humble, caring, loving ways, your wicked sense of humour and your good heart and soul and I can still hear your booming laughter now which makes me smile. The joy, happiness and amazing memories you have given me over the years will stay in my heart always and forever. You always met me with a big hug and warm smile.
You let me sit in your shop on a tall stool I used to have to climb, sat by the icelolly freezer. I would be eating a freezepop watching the shop with you and you let me use the till, price gun and help stock up. Our caravan trips to the South of France where I remember you said to my brother Liam (your nephew) who was so hot to stand in the cool box with water and ice cubes, this made us all laugh and smile as he went and did it. I spent a lot of time with you and Aunty Catherine at your home/the shop and we always had so much fun.
I will miss so many moments with you
May your gentle soul rest in the arms of the lord now in peace
Love you always
Laura xxxx
