    Hello Melinda,
    I am so sorry you lost your wonderful husband and father of your twins. And also for them to grow up without their dad.

    I still can’t believe he is not there anymore, when I will return to Liverpool. He was such a positive and reliable person, and a very caring one. A real friend! My dog Bentley LOVED him. He sniffs good people.

    Wish you strength in this sad time.

    All the very best for you and your family,
    Doris
