Thank you for being the best Dad and Pa anyone could ever wish for. We are so lucky that we had you in our lives and all the special times that you shared with Isla will never be forgotten. I hope you're up there drinking some cheap beer and smiling down proudly on all of us. We love you so much Dad and will miss you everyday. Lots of Love Jacqueline, Paul and Isla xxx
