As many of you will know, around 3 years ago Dad was diagnosed with brain cancer. Sadly, on Saturday evening he passed away. The rest of Saturday was a really nice day, we had music playing throughout the house; Ida, Linda and Jennie came to visit Dad; and we even had his favourite, a curry, for dinner. He was a lovely man, who meant a great deal to a lot of people, and he was an amazing father, who will be dearly missed by all of us.

Instead of sending flowers, we think the money would be much better spent helping out charities do their fantastic work. The Sam Beare Hospice helped us massively during the final months of Dad's life and made it as comfortable for him as possible. We can't thank them enough.
