Dear Angela and the Cotter family,

I am saddened by your loss. I hope you can find the strength in one another to relive the wonderful memories you have made with John in years past.

Live for today for no-one knows what is in store tomorrow.

I find some peace in knowing you were able to follow your dream to Ireland, if only for a short time.

I am sure it made for wonderful memories.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.
