"The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering yu is easy, I do it everyay, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day we shall meet again. I love you daddy, and miss you very much everyday. Cant believe your really gone, keep a watch on us. Love you always."

"You were my brother and my friend. You were much older but you always made the effort to be there and be part of my life. Your family stories amazed me, your heart encouraged me. You will never leave my heart and I will miss you until we meet again. Thank you for the phone calls and the time spent and for being you - wonderful, unique you. Heaven is lucky to have you and I hope you are celebrating eternity with all of our family. Love you - your sister"
