Tribute

Friday 3rd September

Today I lost my best friend of the last nearly 20 years. Kathy was a lovely woman. Kind, generous, understanding, fun to be with, no nonsense or airs and graces, she was always there when I needed her. I know she was such a good friend to very many people, neighbours, family and friends alike, and will be very sadly missed by them all.

It is very hard now to go into town, remembering all the times we would bump into each other without planning it, but then go and have a coffee together and enjoy each other's company. Also the many times we met by arrangement for meals out, movies, day trips, nights at my home with a bottle of wine and good conversation, even a shared trip to London - those will not happen again and I find it hard to think about the big hole Kathy's loss leaves in my life.

I know she is at peace now, and I am grateful for that. She and I both believe in the resurrection, so we look forward to a happy time when we can see each other again.

Sleep well Kathy, love always.
