Words at this difficult, impossible time do not come easy to me. Having lost the love of my life, but I will try to write how I feel.
The messages and calls (and there have been many) of condolences, love and offers of help has been overwhelming showing me the reality of how much John was loved and cared for and how he touched hearts and souls of everyone he came to know.
A decision has been made by me taking into account the heartsore and difficulties we have had to suffer/endure in the strange time we are living in - not to set a date for John's send off but and this is unconventional but then as mentioned it is strange times.

I will have a continuous slide show/music he loved in his honour every weekend from now on to celebrate the life of the most beautiful big man I will love forever who overwhelmed us all with his tremendous skills, wisdom and advice for those who needed it and listened if they wanted to.

So arrive here whenever you have the time as you feel in your heart for closure and goodbye. If you feel you would like to contribute to the slide show/or a video you are more than welcome to.

I will add it on for you and we have a drink together in his happy place
