You were the best a grandson could ask for I remember our days sat around the table you’d tell me your old war stories and how I promised you I’d never drink I didn’t like it that didn’t turn out so well that one (sorry nan) haha. You told me about how your old mate use to be seeing a guy called fiddler and we’d be in stitches for hours re living that story. There was always a ham butty after school & some tea and nice biscuits waiting after school you’d never forget a birthday and always ask about my mum tell me the story of when she tied a belt around poor duke neck cos she was scared of it I could go on & on but there’s not enough room I miss you nan I always will from this day on I love you so much I hope your back with your Colin now I wish you could of been here to see your new granddaughter I’ll tell her all about you when she’s older. You ment so much to us all we will never forget you.
