Some words we feel capture how we think he would have wanted for us to remember him and how we should tackle our new horizons and challenges.

You can shed a tear that Stuart has gone

Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see that he has left.

Your hearts can be empty because you cannot see Stuart

Or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and re-live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember Stuart and only that he has gone

Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

Or you can do what Stuart would want, smile open your eyes, love and go on.

For those wishing to make a donation we would like to pass any funds received to The Hillingdon Hospital Trust ITU department as this is where he spent his last hours and the waiting room for relatives could do with an upgrade.

His favourite drink of late was red wine, please raise a glass.. or more!!
