I did a speech at your funeral and everyone loved it, i wish you met the people in my life who you didnt have chance to meet- you would've loved eachother. Your funeral was beautiful and you would've been so proud of my mum for directing it and being so strong, the photos on the slideshow we had showed your personality so much. The funny moments and the love you had, everyone will remember you in honour and love; you were so helpful and charitable. You would be so proud and love us all. We miss you
