Just wanted to say I enjoyed your company at the cemetery on so many occasions, your great banter and lovely smile that you always had .My dad looked forward to you arriving on your scooter to visit your wife . As sad as it is for your family I always remember you saying how much you wanted to be with her just like my dad would always say about my mum . xx
