  • Sophie you have been wonderful and I always knew if Liverpool were playing you’d keep him updated with the score. He would do most things for you 😊 the care, the time you took because he didn’t like being rushed and that meant a lot to him and us. We can’t thank you enough you’ve been amazing 💙💙 xxxx

Alf to know you was to love you, a true gentleman who lived for your family. I'm honoured to have been part of your care at Bellavista, you left me with some lovely memories to cherish such as your request to visit Barry island once more and our wedding celebration as you beamed with pride watching Nathan and Becky's wedding. Shine over your family now and forever...may you rest in peace. Xx
