Sad News

This has got to be the hardest thing to write and really no words can express how I am feeling but my courageous, beautiful, fun loving, husband and best friend sadly past away last Friday 21st June. He was so brave and put up such a good fight, staying positive until the end with hope that the Doctors could buy him a little more time.

He has left us with so many happy memories, he really did live life to the full, enjoying all sorts of hobbies including, cycling, motorbikes, shooting, diving, cars, his allotment, to name but a few over the years and most of all family life. He was so proud of all of our children and their achievements in life and I know they will continue to make him proud. He made us extremely proud too especially with his amazing achievement of riding around the country on his Honda C90 last year and his Olympics volunteering all since his diagnosis.

Dene was the love of my life and soul mate, we had been together since I was  15 and him 19 and have grown through life together. I know with the support and love from the children, family and our wonderful friends I will be carried through, but this is going to be the hardest thing I am ever going to do people say it gets easier but I can't see that at the moment, the only thing I know is that Dene would want us to enjoy everything we do and always live every single as if it was our last.

So on that note I will say goodbye and leave you with details of "The celebration of his life"
Wednesday 3 rd July at 12 noon, St Matthews Church, Redhill, Surrey. Internment at Redstone Cemetery followed by a party at The Harlequin Theatre Redhill.

Dene's wishes are that everyone wears bright colours to the church No Black and all those that want to wear fancy dress to the party afterwards!!!

We are having family flowers only and donations to St Catherine's Hospice and Epsom Canine Rescue as Dene got great comfort from our dog while we were out at school and work.

All welcome

Missing you already xxxx

    I'm reminded of Jesus' words to the persnickety Pharisees: "You have strained out the gnat & gulped down the camel."

    Really enjoy reading these, Good to see the 404 being covered. :)
    Though a little confused by the order of the pictures - the last few are of Coulsdon (where you started), not Caterham.
