My dear Auntie Elsie, Growing up I remember I always loved coming to visit you and Uncle Derek. We’d dance and be silly and you’d always let us entertain you. Thank you for always keeping our favourite chocolates in the bottom drawer. Thank you for being such a wonderful presence in my life. Thanks for always picking me up from the train station or airport when we’d visit from afar. I’m so blessed to have known you. Can’t wait to hug you again one day. I’ll miss you, love you always Hannah xx
