Dearest Joan Mary, today is your birthday and the sun shone on your beautiful orange roses. I miss you more every day, and love you so much. We had such lovely times together, and the world is a darker place now, without your smile. I survive only because of your pictures and the memories of your sweet love. We are giving your birthday present to the RNLI, because you would want that. All my love to you forever, Gerry XXX
