Richard, I want to say a few words, I am unsure if you will ever read them, but I felt the need to express my thoughts. The firsts of any occasion are painful. You look around and you see and hear all the conversations, the laughter and the faces and a wave of sadness washes over you because they are missing all of this. It seems not fair or right to celebrate in their absence even when you know they would want you to. I lost my Momma 14 years ago and the pain of her loss never fades, I, like so many, have simply learnt to live life without her. Your Momma lit up many lives, some of us had the pleasure to meet her, sadly I was not lucky enough to do so, but when a letter with a local Leicester postcode arrived, I knew your Momma had posted it from Huncote, just 15 miles from my home! She made our connection to you all the more personal and I just wanted to say Thank you.....Thankyou for sharing your Momma with us, it truly was a privilege. Julie
