We say goodbye to you today mum and it won't be easy. You put up with so much as you battled your illness. It makes me sad that you weren't able to enjoy the last few years and we all know how much you enjoyed your holidays! What makes me even sadder is that as Luke and Owen are about to embark on the next stage of their paths you won't be there to see it, or see the young woman Eden becomes (she has a few of your traits so you definitely won't be forgotten!). Whatever they become, I like to think you'll be watching. Thanks for being my mum. Rest in peace now, lots of love Rachel xx

To my lovely ‘big’ sister, I’ve known you all of my life but it’s only now, that you have left this world, I realise I have so many questions about our time growing up together and our family. Those questions will now have to wait until we are together again. You put up a tough fight for a long time, rest in peace now.
