Today we said goodbye to you Uncle FOOIt was actually a beautiful service after the initial shock of seeing your name on the board as we drove in the grounds. This really hammered home the finality that this is for real. Life is so fragile..months ago you were here, happy & smiling & just being 'you'. And seeing your coffin in the hearse was heartbreaking, it feels not right. I think it's easy to not comprehend what is happening until you see this for yourself.

I always knew you were a much loved man and one of the kindest people anybody could ever meet, you never had a bad word to say about anyone & you were always welcoming & very down to earth, & your heart was big. I'm really proud of your granddaughter, the way she eloquently spoke & then her FOO joined her up there for support it was actually heartbreaking to see.. Your FOO adored you & thanks to you they have something special to keep in their hearts & to make them into better people..you're a part of them that they'll always have....you're already so missed & it won't be the same to go to your house & you're not there anymore. Did you know you were such a huge presence in that house? Well you were♥ Your little side man ***** is going to miss you so much, but you're already in him & he's gonna make you proud. You also had a 'stubbie' today, in your leather cooler...you were there♥ Your famous spaghetti was even mentioned.

Much loved Uncle FOO you won't ever be forgotten you live in so many hearts, thankyou for being you & I know I won't ever forget the gentleman that you really were. Love ya lots & thank-you for everything you did for us xxx ♥
