Hi Mum, We all still desperately miss you; dad has been so strong and is looking after the villa and your beautiful garden, as you know talks to you all the time. Your photo has pride of place on top of the television cabinet dad built for you when you were soo desperately ill in hospital, although the days pass by our memory of you remains so strong that we all can feel you helping us cope with our grief. When I am working out in your garden I can feel you guiding me in maintaining it how you would wish it kept. Linda has been a star looking after dad arranging all his appointments, deliveries, sending out parcels with goodies in there for him that I am not sure how he or I would have cope without her. Claire got married in October and we all attended, Helen has a lovely partner called Brinley, I know it is late in the day but mum we are all close now and I know you would be pleased that at long last this has happened and we are a family Love you mum xxxxxx
