Dear Louise, Colin, Nigel, Carol & Families
My heart felt sympathy goes out to you all at this sad time. Memories will be with you always, treasure them as I will.
I'm so grateful to have met Pauline & spend time with her & Alan getting to know you all has been awesome & I hope we can still stay in touch. Pauline was a very beautiful person so dedicated to her family & I was so lucky to have had her in my life. I wasn't in touch often for the fear of intrusion but I treasur every visit & phone call we had. I also got to meet Doreen which was so awesome. I wish I could be with you all right now to say my final farewell & to once again thank Pauline for all the talks we had the tears we shared & the laughter we had. I'm so sad I won't get to see your smiling face once more Pauline but the memories will be locked in my heart forever.
Anyone wishing to contact me can do so as my email address has been made available in this post.
