“.....No matter if it doesn’t come anyway near it’s target (which shocked me!) every penny will help & will not be spent on anything frivolous. Thank you so much lovely people xx”

“.....As Nic pointed out to me, she said people want to help but don’t know how, this is why we said ‘ok, if you wish to set it up, that’s fine by us’. This money will go towards various expenses - plot digging, headstone & also to create some special memories ‘of’ Josh - I hope to get a memory teddy made & his fingerprint is already held at a jewellers just waiting to be turned into something special......”

Words from Anna, Josh’s mum: “Thank you so much Nic for thinking of us & everyone who has donated. It really is very much appreciated. Although part of Josh’s funeral will be funded by the Co-operative, there is an endless list of unfunded necessities 😔 . As Nic said we do feel awkward, as we’ve had so much support from the community over the past two years both in raising money to make memories ‘with’ Josh & messages of love & support, so we do feel incredibly awkward accepting financial help again.....”
