Guys,
I am writing out a letter I have recieved from John's wife. I thought it only fair to share it with you as many of you have been very supportive towards John's family and whilst sent to me it is a message that is clearly intended to be seen by all of us. There are a few ommissions that are for both diplomatic and personal reasons.
Dear Pete
On behalf of myself, Katie, Daniel and the rest of the family, we would like to thank you for your messages in the cards we recieved in our recent sad loss of John. John, like ourselves, would have been overwhelmed by your generosity towards us at this sad time.
The messages we have read about John on your forums have given us both comfort and strength, not to mention a few laughs. As you know he was caring, thoughtful, generous with a big heart and loved swapping stories and giving and recieving help in his quest to be the best he could in his chosen career. This was starting to come true through his hard work and dedication.
Many thanks to those who made the journey to celebrate John's life at Dunham Massey, a favourite area of Johns. Sorry we did'nt get to speak to you all and thank you also to those who held the minutes silence (Solutions/Hydramaster Ruc Course) in Johns memory.
Finally, a huge thankyou to those were there when John needed you most, we shall be ever grateful for this.
As I'm sure you will understand we are still trying to come to terms with loosing John and starting to get on with day to day life which is what John would have wanted.
Yours Sincerely
Michell Gregory
