Dear Rosee

We met at Clare's funeral last Thursday. How are you? Hope you don't mind but Julie emailed me your email and address. Unfortunately I never had a speech prepared but it went along the lines of:

I met Clare at Gateacre Comprehensive, in Liverpool, 20 plus years ago She was wild! She was mad! She made me laugh. We used to sit in needlework class and while we were sewing our aprons we used to dream of John Taylor and Simon Le Bon landing on the school field and taking us away for a night of passion...

It's so hard to believe that it was only 4 weeks ago (30 Dec) that she was at our wedding in Dublin. She looked gorgeous, happy and healthy as we danced (and giggled) to Reflex by Duran Duran. I've brought my friend Martin with me because he, Clare and I spent a very boozy night together in the Camel pub in Victoria, at the start of December. It was such a great night - so much so that Martin had to remind Clare of her stop on the night bus going home.

I loved Clare to bits and I'm gonna miss her. She was a credit to Ann and Sid and my memories of her I will cherish forever. [Joanne Fulham (formerly Dominey)]
