Burt
I was only a small part of your life however over the last few years you became a big part of mine. I was always grateful for how effortlessly you welcomed me in to your world. So much more than the typical 'MIL' relationship. You were a good friend to me. I just wish we had had more time.
It makes me chuckle how you never batted an eyelid over some of the crazy decisions Damon and I have made over the last couple of years (tbh I can't promise we won't continue to do so 😂) In fact, you fully got on board with them. We wouldn't have been able to get our beautiful home without your help & Thatch is missing his best bud ever so much.
My family were always so impressed by your football knowledge however I was more amazed by your comprehensive grip on all things Made in Chelsea. It doesn't feel right watching it on my own.
You always spoke about your work so passionately however I now also appreciate how unintentionally modest you were being. It's been incredible hearing the many stories from the families of the babies you gave a second chance of life to. Your legacy lives on through so many people.
Thank you for all the laughs, the support and just general great company. I've always thought of myself as a tough cookie but I'm not a patch on you. You have shown me what brave looks like & I will carry that with me through life.
Sleep peacefully Burts
You are a true legend and an inconsolable loss to so many.
