You were generous. The kindest soul.
You had your own quiet swag, you were extremely shy, and so funny.
My biggest fan.
You couldn’t hold a note to save your life, but you sang every one of my songs with your whole heart.
Your strength, your love, your spirit will remain with me forever.
“Rest now, Mum. 💔🕊️”
