To my dearest brother, David (Bruce Lee)
You were so much more than my brother—you were my protector, my best friend, and always your"Auntie Ann." You tried to be a father to me, telling me off when I needed it, banging your fist on the table just to shock us before leaving us all in fits of laughter. You never tried to be funny—you just were.
I'll miss our late nights together, sharing a drink, talking about John and Mam, and putting the world to rights. I'll always picture you showing off your Bruce Lee moves after a few drinks.
You loved Rubly, Missy and Lucy, and you had such a special bond with Lynn, Stacey, Paul and Gavin, who always reminded you to look after me. You adored Rae, Brett, and my grandbabies as your own, never forgetting a Mars Bar or a little money for them.
Life broke your heart so many times, but it never took away your kindness or your love. Cancer took you from us far too quickly, but it will never take the memories or the laughter you gave us.
Rest well brother, as you sleep, awaiting your time to be reunited with your beloved wife, your daughter Sonia our John, Angela and Mam. Until we all meet again after your resurrection of life. Without pain suffering or death. See you later 😭♥️
Love you always and forever.
Your sis and always your Auntie Ann. 💖😭💔♥️♥️♥️🫂🙏
