    While the opportunity to make new memories with you has gone, we can still live and make separate memories based upon the love we received and the lessons we learned from you.
    We will never forget the memories of your visits home (this will always be your home to us).
    Our lives have now changed forever, but we will never lose the love that we felt for you, and from you, you are part of who we are and our lives are better for having known you.
    None of this will change, you are part of our history. We’ll continue to talk about you and smile every time your name is mentioned.
    We have always loved you and always will. From your loving family in the UK
