Well, as I write this I can't believe it's been a year to the date when our friend Paul passed away suddenly on the 10th November 2016 at only 42 years young....

I know it's going to be a difficult milestone for all that knew and loved Paul and I know it's at times like these we wish we could do more to help those who have the gap of Paul's passing heavy in heart at this time.

Paul's beautiful, intelligent, funny, inspirational daughter Kaitlin turns 17 in December, those who were at Paul's Funeral could not help but be amazed by her strength and humility and love she shown on one of the worst days you could imagine for someone so young.

It's on this I'm reaching out to you all as Paul's friends, what if we could make a small difference? What if we could let his family know we're all still here for Paul and for them? Kaitlin is doing really well in Collage but has always wanted to get her Driving Licence and is old enough in December to apply for this and start her lessons, what if we as Paul's friends got together and gave her an early Xmas present from us all on behalf of her Dad to get a block set and hopefully give her a great head start in life?

In future when Paul's little man Jacob is older maybe we can get together again to show him what Paul meant to us all in a similar way..

I know you all gave so generously for Paul's funeral and we raised nearly £4000 which was fantastic, but instead of raising for such a sad occasion we raise this in memory of Paul as a gift to his daughter as a positive memory in her life?

Anything, even a fiver, whatever you could spare will go straight to her fund and you can make even a dark time a little lighter with Kaitlin knowing her Dad's spirit and memory live on in so many people that his short life touched....

Thanks in advance from Paul's Mum and Sister...

Love as always, Duncan
