It's hard to believe that you're no longer with us Gary, but my fond memories of our life and times together will endure. We shared so much in our childhood, and throughout adulthood, but sadly we won't get to share growing old together. Grrrr, I was looking forward to that! I enjoyed beating you at chess, at least a couple of times, but I regret not trying harder last time we played for our snooker/pool trophy. That was a thrashing I won't ever forget! I cherish the memory of every moment we spent together - there was never a bad one. Our day at Live8 was one of the best days of my life and our time together on holiday in Sicily, Paxos and Spain is right up there. I miss your laugh and I really miss our daily chats. Christmas without your company will never be the same again! This time last year you sent me one of the most touching texts anyone could ever wish to receive. Thank you for that and right back at you! Farewell dear Cousin and best friend. Bon Voyage. Graham. x x x x P.s. I'm not sure they allow shorts in Heaven!
