Hey Dad after mum passed away it was just you and me. We did it our way looking after each other until your time drew near to go be with her. I was happy to look after you at home until the end just like I did with mum. Now you are both up there in heaven give mum a big hug from me. Tell both her and Stephen (my Steve) I still miss them dearly. Not a day ill go by that I will stop thinking of you all until we all meet again. Love and Hugs from me your daughter Kathleen (Kathy).

The sad passing of Bob Hill reminds me of the greatly valued link Bob had with my mother, the late Thelma Dunn. It is ten years ago, in August, that she passed away. During her life, Bob always took time to keep in touch. She loved hearing from him and his visits. Bob was very dear to her and enriched her life. Rest well dear Bob. My condolences to Kathy and family.
