Dearest Clivey, there is no one like you! Your presence filled every space, and for all those who knew and loved you, this will never change! Your love for Carol, the love of your life, and your family-Lisa, Gareth, Chris, Amanda, Elliot, and Brooke-was evident through every fibre of your being, yet you found room in your heart for all who touched your life. Oh, the stories you would share, the fish that got away, the rugby you revelled in, the joy in your laughter, and your unbounded pleasure, every day of a life that was lived to the full. We shared your love of good red wine and your delight in your bags of goodies from Toffee Nosed! We basked in the warmth of your friendship, the sound of your laughter, the depth of your generosity, your infinite kindness, and, of course, your love. Despite my Englishness, I will carry with me a little bit of Wales - and you will be remembered, always. With all my love, Gilly
