Alan I can't believe you're gone. I love you so so much and a part of me has died with you. You were my world, my soul mate, my everything. I want to see you and talk to you and hear your voice but I know I cannot. Life is so cruel we had so many plans and you just loved living life to the full. You said you would fight it to the end and you did. You are the toughest, strongest person in mind and body, you are an inspiration. You have left a gaping hole in mine and so many lives and you will never ever be forgotton. Night night sweetheart we will meet again and I will love you forever, your loving wife Shirley xxxxxxxxx
