Ally, Helen and Jane,
I am heart broken after hearing the news about Dave. Seems like only yesterday I was having to braid his hair for the paty rugby finals and his 100th game. I will cherish the memories along with the many cups of tea and toasted sandwiches we shared. I came to think of and love him as a brother. I unfortunately can't make it back in time from the UK for the service but my thoughts, love and prayers are with you and extended family at this truely difficult time.
