Sending love & light to the family x
The trips Frog & I made over the hill to see Pete included another catch up. We always popped in to see Shirl & Stu. I will always remember these kitchen catch ups fondly. Shirley welcomed me as if she had known me forever. Such a beautiful lady.
Im unable to be there today but want you to know you are all in my thoughts.
