Thoughts

John, Pauline,John,Steve and Julie were such a big part of our lives for many years. We spent many lovely holidays together never falling out.Although John and I once had a bit of a difference when he said he was taking the boys fishing but not Lisa.I was horrified but he stuck to his guns and in the end no-one went We had meals in each others houses every week, many Christmases together.We would go to our local pub up the road and spend a pound each on a round.Cant remember what we had. John was always ready to help I remember when our local fishmonger stole our dog he went with Roger to see him and get him back.That was after Roger had been to Battersea Dog's home and brought to the wrong dog back.We had great fun together. The celebration of his life was a wonderful tribute to him.Pauline was a wonderful wife especially in his last days.She always remembered the good times and I hope and prayers she always will.Thank you John and the Backley so. With love Pat x

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
