Tributes

1. Dear Jean.

   I will miss our laughs and conversations. I feel like we were kindred spirits of sorts, we just seemed to get each other. It has been and honour to care for and become friends with you over the last eight years. Your smile when I walked in your room will stay with me always as a reminder that I am doing my job well. Things aren’t the same in McAuley without you but I’m so very pleased that you didn’t suffer. I have your book of poetry which is very special to me. Rest easy now Jean, the ‘A Team’ will keep on marching on!

   Your friend, Bel xx
