Thoughts
One of the nicest things I have ever heard was our Gavin at Auntie Jean's funeral. He seemed to say everything we all were thinking. As we get older ourselves, I think we all appreciate how special her parents, our grandparents were, and I personally think it has shaped all our families today. I know that for one, I faced a pregnancy where I was told I could be expecting a 'Down's' child as an older mother. Thanks to Auntie Jean, we just thought 'bring it on!'

I wish everyday that Steph could have met my Aunt Jean, then i think she might not have been very well liked! Like my Aunt J said "I'm your Mother and don't you forget it!"....I think she might have been a bit jealous of Steph, but only at first, then she would have loved her!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of death. I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me:
