    Will always remember baking in your kitchen with you and knowing you were never too big to sit on your knee. Will forever miss your cuddles and you singing to me. Love you so much, will miss you, forever and always xx

    You always seemed happiest when your grandkids sat on ur lap listening to you sing. I dont think it mattered how many of us climbed up, the more the merrier! And when we had our children they enjoyed it as much as we did. So many happy memories.
    You will always be in our hearts. Xx

    Our greatest Grandad
    He’d hum old songs softly, a warm, steady tide, With small arms aboard him, safe on his side. His lap was a vessel where storms couldn’t pry, A ship of soft laughter beneath the wide sky. With a kiss and a cuddle, he’d say with a sigh, tatty bye love, tatty bye.
