Dad, I’m proud to be your daughter. Thank you for being my Dad. The life lessons and values you have given me will never be lost.
I will always carry you in my heart and speak of you with pride. I tried so, so hard to keep you here with us all. You dealt with life challenges as they came along and was always here for us. Family and unity were so important to you. You weren’t alone as your family were with you as you took Mums hand, who was waiting by your side.
Love you always, your Janey (Jane) xxx
