Your passing on Friday was so sudden and I feel so much for your family, Jo and Jack. Your son Elliot, who I found out today is turning 21 this year. My dear, dear friend Christie, your sister. Your other sister, Holly. Your brother, Sam, and mother, Kerry.
I was looking at the photographs that Christie and Holly had scanned and uploaded to Facebook. Photographs from your childhood; you with your flaming rust-coloured hair and cheeky kid's smile - you look so much like your nephew Saf looked when he was younger. You at the birth of Elliot; you look so young, so gob-smacked as you held infant Elliot in your arms, surrounded by Sam and Holly who were just children then too.
Your smile held such promise of a life ahead. A life cut short.

But I know you found fulfillment and contentment in the last few years. Your sister, Christie, is so proud of you.
