I’ve known you all my life, mum and dad couldn’t have chosen better people than you and Audrey to be mine and Julia’s Godparents. Although you did get 2 for the price of 1. Thank you for all the lovely times we have had with you over the years, for spending time with Joe when he was younger, for making us all laugh, with your quick wit a dry sense of humour. We have so many fond memories of you. We will never forget you and when this nasty virus has gone and the world is able to return to some kind of normal, we will all raise a glass of Gin & Tonic, Lanson Black Label Champagne or a nice glass of wine or two to celebrate your life and what you meant to all of us. You will be greatly missed. Love you loads. Philippa (Pippy)

You cared for, supported, encouraged and loved us all over the years for which we are truely grateful. We created so many happy memories together over the years, during the holidays and Christmases spent together, although you have been taken away from us these memories cannot be taken away and we will cherish them in our hearts. Thank you for everything Sid, rest in peace. Love Julia, Mark, Jess and Miles. X

Dear Sid, I am writing this poem for you today Can’t believe you have really gone away You were a beautiful person with a kind soul It’s so difficult to say goodbye and let you go Your laugh was infectious, your spirit always warm You could put out family fires and calm the storms Fond memories with you flood my mind, make me smile I Remember when you tutored me, going the extra mile I will cherish memories of our holiday celebrations You always made them fun and special occasions You are at peace now; I know it was your time to part Memories of you Uncle Sid, I will hold close to my heart With all our love, Kelly and Michel Standing van Gelder,Dirk, Tom and Charlotte Hanseler The Netherlands
