My dearest Grandad
It is impossible to even compile enough words to express what a bright, loving, and courageous person you are. You have touched the lives of so many people, and being your granddaughter will be one of the greatest honours of my life. You have always protected and guided me during the darkest of days, now I will look up to the sky for your guidance for the rest of my life. I won’t say goodbye, because someone as bright as you never dies, you live on in every happy memory and in all of our hearts. You fought your illness with such positivity and strength that I didn’t know was even possible, you made every moment count and stayed with us for as long as you could. Thank you for twenty-one years of love, laughter and lots of cups of tea. Grandad, you have my whole heart for the rest of my life and beyond. You can rest peacefully knowing you have been the greatest grandad, dad and husband we could have ever wished for, not even forever would have been long enough to love you. I unconditionally love you forever Grandad and I will proudly be your princess forever.
Continue catching the biggest carp in God’s giant lake with a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. I will see your beautiful face again one day and give you the biggest hug.
Go to sleep, everything is alright.

Dougie, you were the Grandpa we never had. Lee and I are heartbroken by your passing and can't belive you're gone. 😭 Lee only just saw you a few weeks ago and you were doing just fine. This doesn't feel fair. 💔 We are going to miss you so much. 😞 One of that last things you told Lee was how proud you were of me and how far I've come. I'll do my best to keep making you proud; I promise. Please don't worry too much about Lyndie Lou, as she's got all of us and family looking after her. Hope you can now rest in peace Dougie. 🙏 We'll make sure Whiskey is getting plenty of love too. ❤️ xxxx

I miss you. Your face. Your texts. Your calls. Your voice-notes. Your pictures. Your requests for KFC.
Thankyou for the laughs, for my childhood, and for being my dad. I feel so fortunate to have had you. You faced your illness with courage and bravery, even though it frustrated you so much. When things looked hopeless, you always found the positive and your optimism never left you. I am immensely proud of you. My cherished memories will live on in my heart and head forever.
This is the hardest goodbye, but you can rest now.

Dad, love and miss you so much; my world has changed forever. You fought so courageously and still kept your sense of humour til the end. I was privileged to call you my dad, and you’ll always be in my heart. Love you, Jules xxx
