My Uncle John....
What a privilege to have had you in my life since the day I was born, not only as my uncle but also as my Godfather.
I miss our nightly chats, the reminiscing of old times, the laughter we shared and your valued words of wisdom and guidance.
I have loved you always, and will miss you forever.

I have struggled to write this because it will never really show my true feelings, towards such a special person. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there with John, over the last few years. What a wonderful, clever, comical person he was. Our chats are in my heart and are very much cherished. 🥰 The times we chatted about Shirley meant so much to me, that he trusted me with his most treasured life. He will now have the one thing he truly wished for, being with his dear love again 💕. Lots of love and very special wishes. Xxxx

What an honour it was to have known you all my life. The last 6 years since Shirley passed it has been an absolute pleasure to be there to help you. What a privilege it was to be with you until the end. I will miss our chats and may you rest in peace. Goodbye you wonderful gentlemen 💙
