I feel so deeply saddened that you have left this Earth. My heart is broken that I won't ever hear your accents again while telling us one of you stories. Or hearing you tell me off about something. But I know that you are now breathing deep and singing loud. And lighting the clouds up with that beaming smile you shared with some of us lucky people. You have been a corner stone in my upbringing and I thank you for all you have done. You are a true inspiration to me and have taught me about elegance and grace and what being a strong woman means. But what is most important to me is your unquestionable unconditional friendship with my mum. Today she will say goodbye to your body but she will never let go of your spirit in her heart. Please watch over her as she walks through life without her best friend in the world. You will be so incredibly missed but never ever forgotten, Carmel xxxx
