Love and miss you always Mum x

Auntie Sophie, You are someone who has always been around for as long as I can remember, never could I imagine that someone like you would be taken from us all so soon. There are so many memories that I will cherish that were made over the years, it was just so much fun to be in your presence. I’m so sad that there won’t be any more memories to be made. The last conversation I had with you was on one Mother’s Day; I told you that I had always seen you as mother figure and you told me that I “was one your daughters” and that you “loved and missed me”. We said that hopefully we would see each other soon but that was sadly not to be. Just a chance to have said goodbye would have been lovely but I take some comfort in at least you knowing how I saw you and loved you. We promise to look after Anna as best as we can and know you will be looking down on us all. There will never be another quite like you Auntie Sophie. Forever in our heart and thoughts. Rest well; until we all meet again. Say hi to grandma up there for me; I bet you’re having a great catch up. Lots of love Nicola xx

Pokuaa, I still cannot believe that you’re gone. I’m still numb that on this day, I’m here to bury you. I’ll be brave today for Anna. I’ll hold back my tears and help her through the day. Same way you have helped me through many dark moments. And when the time is right I’ll laugh with her as you always laughed with me. Ours was a friendship that we were blessed to have. You are a remarkable soul and God knows why we met. Remain in the bosom of our Father, and keep on smiling from above. The angels have gained our light. May they let yours shine back on us. Adio my dear Pokuaa. Mi mancherai per sempre ❤️❤️❤️
