You were loved by us all Tony. You were one of a kind and a total inspiration - it takes some strength to just keep on going in the way that you did over the last four years. It is hard to believe that you are not still with us - you were always so full of life. We will all miss you very much Tony and we will always remember the laughs and the good times that we had. We will be raising plenty of glasses to you and Jon will light the cigars! I think I will have to get myself to the Christmas shop in Blackpool too to buy something to put in our grotto for you this year xxxx

What to say………. Lots of memories and thoughts in my head and I know I can’t get them all written down, but I know I don’t need to. I will miss you more than words can ever express. We have been through a lot over the years, you have been there for me and Gracie and I have been there for you. Gracie misses you like mad and talks about you all the time , broke my heart telling her you had gone to Heaven (and hers too) but I know you were ready to rest and be free. I still think of you every time I make a coffee (half a cup) or wear those noisy shoes.
It’s the strangest thing you not being here and telling me off , or playing with Gracie telling me not to tell her off or sneaking her chocolate. We will never fill the gap you have left but I promise we will always make sure that our time is filled with happy memories of you , I know you are watching over us all and just like I promised you I will look after Mum and make sure she is OK just like you did everyday you were together .

Love you lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots xxxxxx
