Hiya Bro...you and Keisha got us to Liverpool and back home safe and sound. Felt your presence with us all the way, Bro. Was fab that I could manage to get to you and pay my respects to you on your 50th Birthday. We had a fab and bitter-sweet weekend, meeting the family who received Keisha's precious heart. They were so kind, welcoming and loving it was a joy to meet them all. It was tough, especially for your Aunty Viv and Uncle Earl, but they did so well, Bro. Was really proud of them. Earl and Peter were fantastic and the love and support was unreal from all of them. We were also so very fortunate that where we stayed, the guy, [Adam],was brilliant. A real down to earth guy. Genuine. Funny. Treated us like VIPs. LOL. Laura and her family - her parents and Grandparents are such lovely and loving people and ever so grateful and thankful to Viv and Earl for their courageous and selfless act of love. The gift of life and hope is beyond any words I could put down here. Bless them to the max. I know you knew I came as the sun forced its way out as soon as we reached your final resting place. Felt you in Southport too, Bro, big time. I also know you were laughing and dancing away too as your beautiful kids and Tina and some of your family and friends, including Mum and Dad, celebrated your special day with pictures, lanterns sent to you in Heaven and music and laughter and memories. They did a wonderful job to ensure your memory and legacy lives on and on, Bro. Beautiful. Already I am thinking about when next I can come down. Dad seems ready to make that arduous and long trip again, as long as it's summer time, bless him, so I will definately bring him down to see you again whenever he is ready, Bro. But as always, my pledge to you stays true: I will come as often as I can as I feel it's no hardship for me, because as long as I live, I will always remember and treasure your words of love to me: THERE IS NOTHING AND NO-ONE, NOT EVEN FRESH AIR, THAT CAN COME BETWEEN US, SIS. So this applies on my part as far as distance or weather is concerned. You continue to rest in peace in the knowledge that you are forever in our thoughts and hearts and always will be and also in the reassurance that our love for you will go on and on from generation to generation, Bro. I love you unconditionally as always and always will. I miss you daily Bro but I gotta keep striving to keep smiling as you would want me to, without a shadow of a doubt. You felt the love from Earl, Peter and Viv on Sunday. Such a truly magical moment being there with them. You know they all got my back Bro, so rest in peace and see you again soon. Love you so much. Your sister, Maureen. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
