In memory of Karen

Fond memories of a fun friend

Tony & Gez Frere

Will miss you so much Karen, will miss the laughs and the times we sat outside my cottage drinking wine until it got dark. Still can't believe I will never see you again, the village for me will never be quite the same. Lovely memory of us trying to round up that sheep with Penny and Pete in the allotments that had escaped by swimming over the river we never did manage to catch it, although we did scrump some apples before we left. Goodnight, sleep tight my friend xx

You were and always will be my best friend forever. Am so sad that I will never get to see you again. I will love and cherish every memory for always. Love you x

Kaz I cannot believe I am even having to write this. My heart is so broken and I don't know if it will ever mend completely again. I am so glad to have all of our memories, we have has so many amazing times and so much fun over the years. I can't even choose my favorite memory as there has never been a bad one and every one I have just makes me smile or actually belly laugh! The 24 egger has got to be one of the funniest things that you have done we all still take the mickey and talk about it now! All the weekends in Spain we had were just hilarious from the minute you got off he plane to me waving goodbye to you all still laughing about what had happened at the weekend! All of our concerts we went to I am so happy to have seen GEORGE with you! That was the only concert we remembered from start to finish as we were sensible that night and didn't have a sniff of wine until we has danced and sung our heads off! Not like the Dolly concert I am laughing as I type! We were right at the front with 4 2 pinters each and analyzing all of Dolly's cosmetic surgery and singing really badly country and western styleee! That woman next to us was not impressed! We both had to stop and be ill on the way back to Warwick and vowed we were never drinking again.......until we hit Warwick and had a spot of lunch then we had the best day ever and ended up at yours with the music on and we both did a 'Bambi on ice'!!!

I miss you so much my darling you were more than just a friend you were family to me. You were my voice of reason through some really tough times and you will always have a special place in my heart. Life is so unfair and I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss you. My heart hurts every time i see your face in my mind. I hope you are with your mum looking down on us all! You have the most beautiful grandson you would be so proud Kaz! Jess and Jake have been so strong you have raised amazing kids and you know Maz & Gaz will always be there for them! We all will that's a given!

And just so you know I will be wearing the biggest pants I can find on Friday!! I mean who gives you the nickname of Emma Big Pants, that's all I was known as for years so thanks for that Bambi!!!!!!

You will always be the brightest star in the sky and I will raise a glass to you always! Rest in Peace beautiful....... until we meet again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
