Dear Alan,

Thank you for welcoming me into your home, town, country. I will never forget (yet hardly remember the exact details) my first visit to see Lizzie in the early 2000s. There was definitely a long explanation of a lot of things I didn’t quite understand like footie and cricket. You took me to Wells Cathedral (from the tribute intro I now remember how important this landmark was to you) and Cheddar Gorge. You were so proud of the accomplishments of your family. You were so kind and hilarious. I enjoyed many visits over the years and am heartbroken to know you won’t be there on my next trip. One thing I would like to know is why I never got to go to the pub with you! My next trip we will go in tribute and have a pint. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. And for raising one of the greatest people I know, Lizzoe. I will miss you Grandad for this family that I know has been touched by you so much. Much Love, Amy
