So here is my farewell message to one of my dearest friends who I still can not believe I am never going to see again. Looking at everyone’s messages they ALL say how you made them laugh and smile and that is surely what everyone would dream of accomplishing. From the moment I met you with your cheeky comments and amusing renditions of songs (my favourite being anything by Britney Spears) made me laugh and you made me laugh every day that we saw each other. We have shared so many lunch times at work (every day for probably 5 years). Nights out with VF whether that be an official work night out or BNO. Then onto our ‘Come Dine With Me’ crew. It was always you that nudged the next person to set a date. I just can’t put everything I need to into words but you were a true friend and we will always think of you fondly and will laugh about many conversations in years to come. Although I am unable to come to your funeral on Thursday I will raise a glass to you by the pool and I will be there for Patty now and always. Life will not be the same without you.
