From across the Pond, “The BEST things in life….are the PEOPLE we love….the PLACES we’ve been…and the MEMORIES we’ve made along the way.” (quoted on a plaque from auntie Christine). I will always be thankful to uncle Eric for the treasured time he shared over here with both my mum and his dear big sister, Ethel as well as the special moments Eric, Carol and Jo provided for Sydney and me when we were over there too long ago. Our fairy garden will never match his but we try….. Cheers again, dear uncle Eric! I imagine that you’ve found that family of ours (and the strangers around the bar that quickly became friends) and you’re leading another round of, “….maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner…..” I can hear it now…. Hugs to Eric’s girls and their families, your dad and granddad will always be a special guy. My thoughts continue to be with you and the family during this difficult time.
