Hey up Dad, Happy Father's Day. Almost bought you a card and had to stop myself asking Mum if you had a list this year. You're still very much alive for me and I Keep thinking I'm going to bump into you at any moment as if you've just popped out for something. I'll get there I suppose just not sure when as the impact of losing you so suddenly keeps creeping up on me at the daftest times. Thanks for everything Dad, without your encouragement, support and love I wouldn't be the man I am today. We can't pick our parents but I really lucked in with you and Mum. I love you and miss you so much, stay close and keep watching my back. Love you.

Oh Barry! We are so going to miss you! It was a privilege to be able to watch your service online today. It was so lovely, especially watching Gloria and the boys stand with you during one of your favourite songs - 'The Power of Love' . The service did you proud, as did Lel with prayers at the end as we met together to watch your final journey. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. You will remain in our hearts and our prayers - Big hugs and all our love from Barbara & Tina ( Stamford Christ Church friends forever) xxx
