Rest in Peace my friend.

I remember you moving in next door to us at Auckland Road as a youngster with your mum and young Terril. You were all great neighbours . Tony I used to talk to you a lot over the garden wall. You were fascinated with our ageing Alsation. We are all robbed with your untimely demise.

I miss my little brother, you will always be in my heart and on my mind. We were always the best of friends and occasionally the worst of enemies, (but we never went to bed on an argument. ) We have laughed and cried together many times over the years. I am so sad I will never see your face or hear your voice again. You taught me to drive (like a boy), you taught me to fight (like a girl) tickling always wins. You gave me the strength and confidence to do all the things I probably never should have. You were always there to pick up the pieces, (that happened quite a lot ). You always knew exactly how to frighten the life out of me. Growing up was easier for you because I did it all wrong to start with, you were always the golden one and deservedly so. You loved and valued family and friends, nothing was ever too much trouble, you were always there in times of need, your own version of meals on wheels for our nan, fulfilling her bucket list was a fabulous achievement, you kept an eye on mum while I was often on my travels, you were always so dependable, what am I ever going to do without you, who will laugh with me at us both almost drowning (just because we lost our swimmers) who else will remember how things really got broken. I will miss you forever sis X
