We will miss you Uncle Alan. You had a presence that could be felt in any room you walked in to. A booming voice that could be heard all across the Ribble Estuary. A gentle giant, and a true gentleman. Reunited with Jane, rest in peace. Fair winds and following seas x

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
