My Dad, my heart is broken, life will never be the same without you as head of the family (or is that Mum!) 

You were an amazing Dad giving me so much love and fantastic support at different times in my life. You once said to me, "Sa, you need to follow your heart and do what you feel you want to do and I will be there for you" and so it's your fault I married Mark!!

You gave me my passion for music, introducing me to so many artists. I got the travel bug from you, with tales of your travels when you went biking to Switzerland and when you travelled with Link Miles. I am thankful we have memories from our trips together, Isle of Wight, Marbella, Valencia and Turkey, you loved each and every one of those times. And of course Peggy Days on the boat.

And, the great laughter throughout my life, you will be remembered for your dry sense of humour and your rudeness-the ruder you were to someone was a sign of how much you liked them. I will always remember your famous saying "you are out of the Will" or on occasion "you are top of the Will" but quickly to fall off!

Dad, you always said "when your numbers up, your numbers up" so I know you would be happy that you went quietly and quickly and that brings me comfort.

Rest peacefully with your lovely daughter Lisa, look after each other!

Your loving eldest "favourite daughter" Sarah XXXXXX
