Jasper - My ever so nearly, potential step-brother once removed...
Still a bit in shock with what happened - the ripples are still ever widening and I hope I can help the rest of the clan to cope and get through this dark time.
I'm going to try and keep your Mum and Stuart busy trying to pair me off with eligible suitors - at least to take the edge of things for a bit.
I have my bronze 'Jasper Junior' that they gave me that Xmas we all met up at your Uncle's and I rub his little head and think of you often :)
Hope you are flying with other kindred spirits, wherever that may be...
M.x

Jasper you were always three steps ahead of everyone else. It figures you'd leap the void into the unknown mystery beyond before the rest of us.
