Dear Vanessa & Ashly. That was such a beautiful service today for Nick. I'm sure he would have been proud of you both. i loved the song tributes to Nick, especially the one Ashly sang with her friends. i must say that when Ashly broke down, I'm sure i wasn't the only one who cried along with her. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to support you both, but i promise I'll visit when I'm next in Hamilton. I will also take your advice Ness, & tell my loved ones that I love them. All the best my friend, I'll be in contact soon. Love to you all, Kylie & Steve xxxxx

Ash and Ness it is clear you have so much love and support there for you both, Nick will be looking down and smiling knowing you are both being so well looked after 🥰 Sending you both all my love, hugs, thoughts and everything else i can possibly give you.
