Hey GF What can I say you silly duffa. I remember the first time I met you, you were in fishnets and cut off jeans sporting a wig and loving it. The 2nd time we met was at the crown and badger, you had just got back from Tonga a few drinks under ya belt and dancing with who ever would dance with ya. Brian introduced me as hot GF of course and you gave me a big genuine hug. You became part of our family and one of my BFFs very quickly - I had no choice in the matter. You always made me laugh and your one liners were out of this world. I used to leave you and Brian to it and pop off to read, nap or have a wine over many eye rolls. I would often find you both asleep the TV going and sneak off quietly. You always made time for the people you cared about family and friends came first. You were generous to a fault, I loved your visit with vension steak sausages or patties that your dad and you had gathered. Fresh fish often on offer and always a hug. You spent many nights stating over at ours, holidays outings and adventures. Then we moved to Australia but kept in touch often and always stayed with you when back in your beautiful home. There was always a bottle of my fav sav chilling. A roast in the oven cooking, onion dip and chips and a cooked breaky in the morning. Oh and matching towels on the bed. You would of made someone a gr8 wife. Love ya Mikey. Fly high with the angels and look over us ✨️ 💕 keep sending us signs that your on your journey in the next chapter of life. X Cheers to the wonderful memories you silly duffa. Lee xx

Thank you for everything you've ever done and will forever hold you in my heart. Rip mikey love you mate
