To you all. Francis was a lovely man. Always enjoying life and keen to have a laugh. Both him and Chris were always there for me at the darkest and most sad times of my life.He had a very strong will and put up such a fight with his illness. I will remember him always with fondness and will miss him for sure. Sending love and hugs to you all.
