It is with a very heavy heart that I write this, mum you're a massive part of my life and I will never forget the many things that we shared. Love you with all my heart I will miss you every day forever till we meet again. your loving son Bryan.

It is with great sadness that I write this message. My Aunt Dorothy, I am so sad that you have left us in body but the many memories that I have with you will be cherished. I will never forget our trips to Atlantic City when you were visiting. Finding the 50 cent coin on the floor and quickly running to a machine to play it. We would never had played a 50 cent or dollar machine otherwise but I will forever remember the joy we had in putting the coin in the machine and dancing around like giddy school girls when we had won and had coins pouring out. Of course it didn't last since we went to another casino and lost it all. We had such fun on those trips. I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace my sweet, loving, and funny Aunt Dorothy. All my love, xoxo

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this message. You will be missed by so many people who love you . You have influenced the lives of people from the north of Scotland to the south of England . You have touched the hearts of not only your family in the USA but of the people you met during your visits who have been sending me messages . Many of them have funny stories and memories of you. You may be absent in body from us but you will be remembered with love for ever. RIP MY beautiful sister. Love you till we meet again.
