My goodness Bez you left us so quickly and at such a young age. We are still in shock. You did so much for us over the years and you did so much for our home we feel you in every room. Just can’t believe you are never going to be around again.

Bez, what a bloke you was. I am truly grateful for the all the time I spent with you, I will continue to cherish all the laughs and memories we shared. Especially the holiday to Skegness, the laughs we had winding the girls up at yours most Sundays, and just the general witty comments you made. Rest in peace Bez, see you on the other side 💜💚
