Ray, thank you for always being kind to me when I met Tim. You always made me laugh with your black country tales. You really were an inspiration and the success that you made with Arbil is truly something to be so very proud of. I wish that I known you longer than I did. I will look after Tim for you. May you rest in peace and I hope you come across my Mum and Dad up there. See you on the other side. xxx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
