My best Uni friend. Oh we knew how to have a good laugh. You from deepest darkest South and me from Northern Lancashire. We initially had trouble communicating, I couldn’t understated how your managed to fit an ‘r into ‘castle’ or ‘bath’ but we figured it out. We just became friends and developed fond memories to last forever. Moments to cherish. We didn’t keep in touch after our Wedding. Life got in the way, jobs got important and children arrived. I thought about you often, especially around your birthday as memories of your 21st birthday at your home came to mind. But I just know what an amazing wife, teacher and mother you were and I know you will be missed dearly. Thinking of you and your family. I hope the photos bring joy as they did for me.

My dear daughter we were together from your birth moment. Your mother was shouting, I was choking as she was hanging from my tie! Suddenly you were there, gurgling, and I cried and cried because of you. I am still crying; I am a big baby. But as we come to terms gently with the new reality, I will look after your little ones, and stand with James, who loves you so much. Dad xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Louise. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
