    Thank you everyone

    Thank you everyone for your kind messages of condolence. You know, it was a revelation to me, and so uplifting, that people thousands of miles away expressed what are quite clearly sincere messages of support. It's lovely to think that prayers have been said for my mum too and to realise that there are still decent people in the world.

    I phoned my step-father today and read every message to him. Their 30th wedding anniversary would have been later this month, and, whilst he's being brave about it, the loss of my mum has hit him hard. So, he was very comforted by everyone's messages and he asked me to thank everyone and to pass on his good wishes to all! He's a retired biker and asked me to tell everyone to stay sharp and ride safe.......
