“Your passing has brought so much sadness to us all. For me, losing you as another member of “that generation” feels like another chapter of our family story has closed. Yet when I close my eyes, every memory I have of you is filled with fun, warmth and happiness. As a child – and, if I’m honest, even up to the age of 30!! – most Sundays I found myself terribly excited at the thought that Pauline and Colin and the kids were coming over. I used to meet you guys at Stubby Lane on my motorbike and escort you all down to the house for an afternoon of food and sport. Those days, along with all the other family celebrations with Granny and Grandad, were so special. I’ll miss you Aunty Pauline and I thank you for helping to create such fond and lasting memories for me. With all my love, Simon”
