Tributes

Sending love to Sophie and Alastair, Brenden and Kavita – my thoughts are with you all at this time. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there in person, but I was grateful to be able to watch the funeral online – thank goodness for technology! To Chloe and Ryan – I’m so proud of you both. Your stories were beautiful to listen to. And now I understand exactly where Sophie’s school-day shenanigans came from – love it. John was clearly a much-loved man, and it was touching to see the depth of that love reflected in all the memories shared. With love, Elke
