Dear Deborah, I have been trying to write something for a year now but as you know I am a crier and I find this very hard to do. Its 11.11am as I write this which signals a spiritual presence, I hope you are here looking over your beautiful family. I don't know if you knew this but I really loved you. I didn't know you for very long but I didn't need it to have loved you for many reasons. Firstly, how you welcomed me in, spent time getting to know me which made me feel so special. As in laws go, I had hit the jackpot and I really looked forward to seeing you and Simon. I loved how you were so interested in me being vegan and would always try our food. I really loved that you were just you, unapologetically you and I try to live like that, I think we all should. I think Sean gets this from you and it is one of his best qualities. You were so caring, I remember telling you about my sister struggling with IVF and you would send me information about it, you had never met her but it was so kind that you thought of others. I think you missed your life calling of being a sales person, I will never forget you almost pawning off your toilet spray to Sean as an aftershave, it was hilarious, I thought you were going to win. It hurts that you weren't able to see us get engaged and get married but I hope you would have been pleased. Thank you for raising such a wonderful man, Sean is a testament to yours and Simon's kind and happy nature and it is something I know he draws on to get through. We will remember you today and always. Lots of love, Stacey x x x
