  6. Dear Fraser and Ruairi,

    I am so sorry for the loss of Bernadette, such a fun loving lady. I fondly remember her excitement when she was learning to swim when you lived in Oxhey and her exclamation of how she wished she’d learned years before. Such a lovely lady and so full of life. You made an awesome team. I know no words will ever adequately give comfort or fill the void that has been left, but hope that the life time of happy memories will keep you strong and help you smile again.

    With all my love
